this solid black and white slapstick comedy with a dark ( but hopelessly contrive ) plot be a true crowd pleaser that will have you howl with laughter ( as well a roll your eye with disbelief ) . it the old psychopath on a train story but that be of no big importance a the thriller portion of the film almost seem to be merely a counterweight to the antic of the great comedian robert gustafsson . his hapless and nearly incurably optimistic soldier invokes both compassion and schadenfreude in a fashion that almost rival chevy chase . the thing about the film that appeal to me the most and however and be that wedge between the improbable and the hilarious be the accurately portrayed everyday joy and nuisance of train travel . they add a most welcome sense of realism and recognition . this thriller comedy have admittedly borrow most of it suspense from hitchcock and should and in my opinion and only be watch for it comedy value ( which be high indeed ) . besides gustafsson and lars amble solid performance a a delightfully cynical misogynist be worth the price of admission alone . heartily recommend .
