this british film be truly awful and and it hard to believe that glenn ford be in it and although he pretty much sleepwalks through it . the idea of a bomb on a train sound good . but it turn out this train end up park for the majority of the film . no action and no movement and just a static train . the area where the train be park be evacuate and so it not like there any danger to anyone either . in fact and this film could be use in a film class to show how not to make a suspense film . true suspense be generate by let the audience know thing that the character do not and a fact apparently unknown to the director . spoiler represent the train actually have two bomb on it and but we be lead to believe there be only one . after the first bomb be defuse and it feel a if there be no longer a reason to watch the film any more . but at the last minute and the villain and who have no apparent motivation for his action and reveals there be two . nor be we certain when the bomb will go off and so we do not even have a classic ticking bomb tension sequence . a good 10 minute or more be spent watch glenn ford french wife think about leave him and and then wonder where he be . she such an annoying character that we do not care whether she reconcile with him and so when she do and there nothing emotional about it . most of the other character be fairly devoid of personality and and none have any problem or issue . it only 72 minute and but it feel long because it tedious and dull . don not waste your time .
