The Midnight Meat Train - Review
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
Despite the above average direction and cinematography, The Midnight Meat Train unfortunately breaks down before reaching the platform. When Leon (Bradley Cooper) begins obsessively looking for dangerous situations to photograph for an upcoming art exhibit, he stumbles upon a peculiar man (Vinnie Jones) that may or may not be tied to a series of gruesome murders occurring in the wee hours of the morning on the subway. Brutally rebuffing his girlfriend (Leslie Bibb) and friend (Roger Bart), Leon's twisted fascination with uncovering the truth behind the mysterious man leads to a horrific, yet haphazardly constructed and anticlimactic end.

I watched it last night and I agree, I wanted to love it but it just lost me bout half way through. When I think back to how blown away I was when I first saw Hellraiser I wonder if I were seeing it for the first time today would it have the same effect on me as it did back then.
Now that I know more about making movies and what is involved,sometimes I find myself wondering what the director was thinking or how they lit a shot and think damn am I ruined forever? Will I ever be able to be swept away into the story?
Then I remember watching the Dark Knight. Yep I can be swept away when the movie is good.
