The title of the film in the local distribution is 'Train to Hell' - it probably refers to the hell of cinema, because this is one of the worst films I have ever seen. The 70 minutes are painfully filled with a mix of story-less script, bad acting, conventional and buggy cut, and repeated scenes lacking any artistic logic. Hugh Grant was by the time the movie was made (1993) at the start of his international exposure, and I hope he hides this dark episode from his CV. Malcolm McDowell is used to play bad guys, but I guess he is still wondering if his character was meant to be the bad guy or something else in this film. We will never know. The only question is why they made the effort of putting this film on a DVD. Oh, yes I know - just to get the renting fee from poor souls of myself. But you are warned! Avoid it! 2 out of 10 on my personal scale.
