Rather silly, and ultimately borderline ridiculous...

Rating: 7/10 (24 February 2015)

6.5/10
So basically, this is "R. Lee Ermey does conductor," and it's therefore as comical as you might imagine that it would be. Initially, the story shows signs of finesse, but it quickly descends into a juvenile, unrealistic, completely-over-the-top portrayal of a purely psychotic individual who'd never have been tolerated by anyone for any length of time.
Oh--so he's suspected of causing a suicide. Just one, and seemingly moments before the new guy took the seat. How long has The Terminator been conducting (he looks rather old)? He only recently became completely psychotic? I suppose that it isn't impossible--but it isn't great writing, either.
Oh--people just get nailed by big trucks at 40 mph, then, not walk, but *run* away (forgetting that leaving the scene of an accident is a crime that he apparently wasn't held accountable for). Got it.
Further, I'm not sure that the awards were warranted, as this is essentially J.K. Rowling (whatever his name is) taking *himself* (based on his prior films) to the extreme. Is this acting, or is this simply his personality?
Understand that this is nowhere near as sophisticated a piece of film as it tries to be, but try to enjoy it merely as a piece of snuff--that's essentially all it is.
