occupation

Passenger load is a British action - thriller from the year 2013 under the direction of Omid Nooshin , who along with Andy Love also wrote the screenplay. The lead roles are Dougray Scott , Kara Tointon and Iddo Goldberg .

action

The single father Lewis drives his seven-year-old son Max home on a late evening commuter train from central London and meets the good-looking Sarah. The train journey is accompanied by strange scenes: a man falls from the train on a platform, the conductor disappears and the train no longer stops at the stations.

The few passengers find out that someone hijacked the train and now obviously wants to provoke an accident. They try to stop the train first and later to uncouple a rear car.

reception

Cinema .de writes that director Omid Nooshin is presenting“dignified narrative cinema”with Last Passenger and “deliberately doing without fashionable gimmicks and today's high-tech look”. Overall, the film is "not a high-flyer, but a nice little success".

Frank Jürgens from the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung describes the film as a “little thriller pearl” which “achieves its tension with very classic dramaturgical means”. Even if the “really big surprise at the finale” did not materialize, Nooshin's “well-cast and performed feature-length debut all along the way” was convincing and rose from “chamber play” to “claustrophobic thriller”.

Director Omid Nooshin was nominated for Best British Debut Film (Douglas Hickox Award) at the British Independent Film Awards 2013.
