This isn't even an Agatha Christie story, written and directed by Michael McCarthy, but I found it as enjoyable and possibly even more satisfying simply because it's nice and compact. Sydney Tafler is a well known mystery writer, or at least to the little old lady who recognizes him, sitting across from her on the train, and he becomes instant detective when a series of odd situations occur, stranding him and the other passengers (including a man accused of murder) in a snowed in train station in the middle of nowhere.
This is an above average quota quickie, maybe rather stagy and claustrophobic, but I found that intriguing in the sense that it added to the moodiness of the film and gave an opportunity to give each of the characters to be developed in interesting ways. The fact that there really aren't any stars is also a plus because of no distractions, and the cast genuinely does a good job. Lots of twists and turns, some confusing, but I had a good time watching it so that's all that matters.
