The witty dialogue in this film keeps up the fast pace. The detective played by Charlie Ruggles lights up the screen with his humor and one liners. Theres terror and laughter all rolled up into one in this film. Murder cases on a train are classic and this movie makes all the stops. No pun intended.
It's really the ending that sucks you into the film completely. Watch as the caboose/private car is unlocked and seperated from the train (orchestrated by the murderer) and the train goes completely out of control. The amazing filmography of how this train (full of explosives mind you) narrowly escapes in such a high speed chase is so exciting.
Note: Some of plot seemed off and unnecessary. There are far fetched ideas presented, like one of the female characters being the "long lost daughter of a railroad tycoon?".
Note: There are negative racial depictions presented in this film.
