Is the quality of life this bad outside the city?
The movie begins with probably the most depressing montage of a guy who takes the train to work every day. Within twenty minutes we learn more depressing news that he is an insurance salesman. On top of that, unfortunately, he about to get fired and his personal finances are quite tight. Prior to “working for the man” for a decade he was a cop. He liked that job but wanted to focus on family. His family in fact is a ray of happiness in an otherwise bleak world of 6am 1010 wins alarms. That’s great, but when push comes to shove, he really puts his life on the line for strangers.
What left me wanting is to know more about this nefarious bogeyman who setup an intricate plot to kill a witness with the unsuspecting aid of Liam.
The literary references were fun, we had some great classics like Lord of the Flies and Scarlet Letter woven into this dark tale of the perils of light rail transit. The Shadows of the Night book was an interesting one to throw in, such a dark novel from such a dark time in Spain’s history.
