About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a western-tinged whodunit with a moving-train setting, bursts of action, and plenty of suspicion; Not for you if you need airtight logic or nonstop thrills like Foul Play.
Pros: tense train-bound mystery; rugged western action; strong ensemble cast | Cons: uneven pacing; plot holes; inconsistent look at times
