This summer, greed, murder and paranoia take first class seats on Night Train, a taut, new thriller starring Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon, Saw), Leelee Sobieski (88 Minutes, The Wicker Man) and Steve Zahn (Management, Joy Ride). National Entertainment Media brings this nail-biting suspense film in the vein of Shallow Grave and The Ninth Gate to audiences as a simultaneous direct-to-DVD and Blu-ray.
How far would you go to have everything you desire? Christmas Eve… when a veteran conductor (Glover), a young pre-med student (Sobieski) and a struggling salesman (Zahn) discover a dead body onboard a night train, the three strangers find themselves on a collision course with destiny. Among the deceased man’s possessions is a mysterious box, which fascinates their attention. Upon looking inside, they see a treasure so valuable that the three conspire to hide the body and split the fortune themselves. This decision sets in motion a tense game of obsession and deceit, where greed betrays reason and morality gives way to temptation. With local authorities at every stop and an assortment of suspicious passengers along for the ride, can the three strangers overcome their fixation with the coveted box or will they delve even deeper into the trenches of depravity?
Bonus features on both the DVD and Blu-ray editions of Night Train include a “Making of” featurette, interviews with the cast and crew, along with the trailer and photo gallery. The film is presented with Spanish and SDH English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.

The color of money can really change the personality of any person in a moment and apparently that is what this new film directed by Brian King is all about. The cast includes Danny Glover, Steve Zahn and Leslie Sobieski, three strangers who discover money from a passenger who died while on the train.
With the dead person bringing lots of money on Christmas Eve on the night train, greed sets in to which the three find a way to dump the body to make sure they get away squeaky clean. Sobieski, who plays a sedate med student seems to be the most pursuant of the three with Glover playing good guy. Steve Zahn shows some reluctance but apparently it seems that he and Sobieski are vying for the one who gets the money. Just check out the trailer and see for yourself.
