Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

hou-3 I am very fond of this movie, which I have watched several times. It is exceptionally well made, with not a single scene that does not work. It is funny, wise, droll and sensitive. Acting and direction are impeccable. It is not a great film, in fact the very idea of greatness is at odds with the elegiac tone and message. But it is a deeply satisfying one, and watching it is a bit like wallowing in a warm bath with a single malt and Chopin playing, preferably the same Chopin as in the film. The film is not flawless. The plot premise is totally incredible and the ending doesn't work, but what the heck. Roger Ebert has a very good review of it.

museumofdave Two older men towards the end of their lives, meet, become friends of a sort, and part. Not the usual cheerer-upper for the Multiplex, but a thoughtful, intimate and often strange film from quirky director Patrice Lecomte; many of the reviews you may read use the word melancholy, and it is that--but in its careful observation of the habits and haunts of these men, it is also quietly funny, from the obvious parody of Spaghetti Westerns transferred to a moribund French village, to the purveyor of baguettes who always queries if " there be anything else?"Man On The Train is a film about friendship, about the value we put on our lives, about last minute regrets, about a lot more than the sound of the train on tracks that frequently haunts the film, mixing with a muted, mysterious soundtrack. Like Lecomte's quietly observant and haunting "The Hairdresser's Husband," this is an oddity whose difference makes it memorable viewing.

Gordon-11 This film is about a retired teacher wanting to swap his life with a robber whom he met on the train.I find the plot very implausible. For a start, I am not convinced that people can be hospitable enough to invite strangers into their flat to stay for a few days. The pace is slow throughout the film, and nothing is really happening apart from two men talking. There are no dramatic moments to capture my attention. The climax, which is the last 10 minutes of the film, is simply a predictable parallel between two characters.This film is disappointing, considering the high score it gets on IMDb.

xbrad68 L'Homme Du Train was a thought provoking movie. I do not condone breaking the law however. The teacher represents the old school Guallists while Hallydays character represents the socialists who often try to cling to power violently like in Venezuela.President Charles De Gualle who my Dad served under in the Swimming Pool (SDECE?) SIS CIA alliance (and probably still serves under) once counselled President Jack kennedy that if America demonstrated that it was prepared to use nuclear weapons to defend Europe then Europe would be safe from the Rushins. To the current French Guallist President who is undercover finding out the Russians true Nuclear War intentions Jack and I say run up the Tricoleur, British and American Flags and give the Brics alliance a real surprise. There are two partly French people among the 21 Humans chosen for eternal life on 21 moon ships and or planets Caroline Bouvier Kennedy and King Henry VIII. You have places at the table of the Creator of Humans. It is better to serve a God known than a devil feared.Check out Hallydays other videos as well.
