Since his awesomely funny stand-out turn in twisted pitch black comedy TWIN TOWN, I’ve always had a soft spot for Dougray Scott. The Scottish actor, probably best known for his lead villain role opposite Tom Cruise in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II, leads tense thriller LAST PASSENGER as a devoted single dad, who along with a small group of fellow passengers, is thrust into a fight for survival when the breaks are cut by a mysterious madman on a train travelling from London.
Overworked doctor and devoted single dad Lewis Shaler (Dougray Scott) is heading home on the last train from London with his young son Max for the Christmas holidays. Unexpectedly the train speeds through one station and then another, with flashing level crossings a fleeting blur. Discovering that the brakes have been sabotaged by a vengeful sociopath determined to cause widespread havoc, Lewis, Max and the remaining passengers face the ultimate challenge of survival. A suspense-filled trip in the tradition of Runaway Train, Unstoppable and Die Hard, Last Passenger is a track-hugging thrill-ride through a cavernous night of twists, turns and explosive action.
Check out the latest trailer for the film co-starring Kara Tointon, Lindsay Duncan, Iddo Goldberg and David Schofield.
LAST PASSENGER will pull into limited UK theatres from the 18th October
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
