I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
... View MoreIt’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreIt is hard to believe that the series of The Last Train may have been seven years ago, but due to the incredible acting of the cast, the series is a piece of fine art that will stay in memory for many years to come. The Plot was deep and involving with an incredible twist at the end, and the character Harriet was bought to motion beautifully by Nicola Walker, and the rest of the cast were amazing. I find it a shame that the series was never continued, and that the moving end of the series left the rest to the imagination without a second series being introduced.Nicola Walker is an incredibly talented actress, and portrays her characters beautifully. Anything starring Nicola, is well worth watching.
... View MoreThis show wasn't without faults but compared to most of the second rate rubbish ITV make , it totally stood out.Scene's which stuck in my mind were when the survivors first saw the devastated sheffield, the packs of wild dog's and the crashed air liner which you saw when the character "Roe" (Zoe Telford) went to search for her family. It was interesting that the writer(one of the writers from "This Life" Mathew Graham )chose to set the drama in Sheffield which reminded me slightly of the amazing Nuclear war drama "Threads".The actress who played "Milly" in "This Life" is also part of the cast(Amita Dhiri) along with Nicola Walker one of the cast from the BBC show "Spooks". I couldn't believe that this has not yet been released on DVD, it seem's long over due,so come on ITV!! You can't leave one of your best dramas from the last 10 years on the shelf!! Please release The Last Train!!!
... View MoreI was hooked on this mini series watching it religiously for weeks on end, only to move house to Wales where we couldn't get any reception.I'd love to see the final episodes of this mini series or buy it. So my comment is to assist the above gentleman's words although we're years apart. There are still people out there that would love a re-run of this series and to buy the film. If anyone from ITV comes across this then please release the mini series on DVD.If anyone comes across this on the internet I would appreciate a link to where I could acquire it.Craig.
... View MoreAt a time when ITV was struggling to make drama that did not revolve around a rose tinted view of the fifties or was based in a medical practise in the Derbyshire hills this post apocalyptic (forgive the corny cliche) drama came as a welcome surprise. With a cast of familiar faces but no real stars this was 6 episodes of excellent well written and characterised drama. The similarity with Survivors is evident. The main character in Survivors searched for her son, in The Last Train the main character searched for her former lover. Still they both got into scrapes to entertain us.Commendable performances from James Hazeldine and Treva Etienne and a truly moving death scene form Amita Dhiri (remember that punch in This Life) but more than this was a taut plot that had twists and turns but was still focussed.I would hope The Last Train would be released on DVD sometime soon, It was great.
