Featured review
A daring crime.
George Williams works as a Royal Mail sorting Officer on a train, he does a bit of small pilfering, which hasn't gone unnoticed, criminal thug Smiler is aware of his misdemeanors, and sets up a plan to lift a valuable package.
Finally Maguire makes a joke about the English weather, I've waited patiently to hear one.
Jack Pulman wrote a pretty imaginative story, it was tightly written, and somehow felt plausible, I imagine he did his research for it.
It looks smart, scenes on board the train and at The Station looked very good, giving it a strong, authentic feel.
Sydney Tafler was the standout as Smiler, a convincing villain, and Robert Rietty was good as poor George Williams.
Pretty good, 7/10.
