**1/2 – Danny “did you just call me Coltrane” Glover and Steve “I am a lot less funny than I think I am” Zahn star as the conductor and a passenger (respectively) on a train full of weirdoes in this unspectacular but somewhat watchable film. The death of a passenger carrying some sort of mysterious box sets in motion a rather odd and insidious series of events that results in about 30 murders and several smashed up boxcars on a train that is apparently on a non-stop loop somewhere really cold and snowy. While it starts out pretty neat, it loses most of its momentum about halfway through, and then attempts a foray into the world of supernatural thrillers which doesn’t really work all that well. It also had about three endings, which - if my calculations are correct - is approximately two too many.
