Konterr Brilliant and touching

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

petra_ste An underrated, bittersweet Commedia all'Italiana, Café Express follows a night and a morning in the life of Michele Abbagnano (Nino Manfredi), who abusively sells coffee on trains pursued by both conductors and a couple of criminals he has defied.Few Italian actors could show both the ridiculous and serious side of a character like Manfredi, who gives here one of his finest performances: he is funny, endearing, pitiable, and yet shows a darker streak, the desperation of a man who has been disappointed by life one time too many - he has a moment of bitter rage near the end which is unsettling and almost painful to watch.The whole fauna of passengers and conductors gets a colorful, sympathetic portrayal in this picaresque comedy.8,5/10

pnapo2 Manfredi stars in this top-notch Italian comedy about a charming flim-flam man's attempts to aid his ailing son, outwitting the dim-witted police in the process. A lovable, compassionate portrait by Italy's most inventive comedy director, Nanni Loy.My vote: 9/10
