What sets Night Train apart from so many of its post-noir brethren – and from its own at-times nonexistent narrative – is the way it manages to powerfully re-create one aspect of the express-ionist aesthetic most neo-noodlers leave behind: low-budget but altogether sleaze-lovely optical effects.

 iranian.com: Sara Nobari, Night train to Tabriz
So I knew as the train whistled past in the dark something of what I was missing, but the darkness engulfed everything from the flat snow to the sharpest mountain peaks.
We were an express train, which meant that out of the four hundred or so miles to Tabriz, we would stop only three times, at major cities (major for a mountain route, population on average 100,000 – 300,000) along the way: Karaj, Ghazvin, and Zanjan.
Throughout the course of the night, as we began to climb the mountains, the window banged open and shut as we sped around bends in the track, first letting in blasts of icy winter air, then blocking them until the cabin became suffused once more.

 BookPage Fiction Review: Night Train
But probably few carry it as far as British author Martin Amis who, in "Night Train," has attempted to collect the genre of the hard-boiled detective novel and make it his own as if he were, well, American.
Because she's named Mike Hoolihan and tells her story in the style of the traditional male detective in the work of Raymond Chandler or James M. Cain, it's often easy to forget that she is not he.
There are a couple of slips, but these do not deter at all from the main success of "Night Train" -- its terrific pacing.

 DVD Times - Night Train Murders   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
When the train is stopped in Austria due to a bomb threat, Margaret and Lisa decide to switch trains to be on the safe side, but the trio of hoodlums follow them and, over the course of the night, subject the two girls to a horrifying ordeal culminating in their death.
The plot of Aldo Lado's Night Train Murders (L'Ultimo Treno della Notte) is almost identical to that of The Last House on the Left; the Italian title, which translates as "The Last Train of the Night", even recalls Wes Craven's controversial 1972 rape-revenge shocker in name.
From then on in, Night Train Murders proves to be a hair-raising piece of work, gradually building up the tension and depravity until both reach near unbearable levels.
