Night Train (I) (2023)
9/10
Fun-Fueled Indie Flick
15 March 2023
Night Train is a fun, low-budget flick for people who enjoy going for a ride. The movie opens with a beautifully shot racing scene and the audience is thrown right into the action.

Single mother Holly is the best racer around with her altered truck. Everyone hates her, of course. How dare a woman drive better than them? But they don't know. She's fighting for her son's life because he's all she's got. So she turns to the black market for his medication.

Jaylene is a vet assigned to a hard-nosed FBI agent. He mistakes her PSTD for drug addiction. She's just trying to survive and catch the bad guys. But how can she get the bad guys when she can't tell if she's one of them?

Soon, Jaylene is hot on Holly's trail. Twists and turns abound from start to finish. I highly recommend watching until the end, or else you'll miss a well-executed twist.

At its heart, Night Train is about two strong women racing to reach the finish line, only to find that line is blurry with morals and politics.

The only reason I gave this movie nine stars is that I wished it was longer.
