undeaddt All I have to say is that this movie is very underrated, as I am seeing the Box Office... (15 mill. budget, 3 mill. box office). First of all, the story, altho nothing breathtaking, is unique at least. Second of all, it's been long since we've seen a classic slash/horror movie that lives to the definition SLASH/HORROR. Third, the style is beautiful, dark atmosphere, quite dialog, gothic colours. The acting cast is on point with the story, altho I have never seen Bradley Cooper in a role like this, which works out pretty well in the end ( actually, he should try and do more roles like this one, it suites him pretty well). The only down side for me is the ending, which lost me a bit, altho it's a logical one, since the meat could not be found anywhere. 6-7/10 Worth a watch.
Derek Tetlow I actually looked this movie up on the IMDb site and it got an average of 6.1 user rating (I almost never watch anything below a 6.0), so I thought I would give it a shot. Uh, where to start with this disgusting heap of trash?? First off, the film title is just dumb; The Midnight Meat Train? Really?? This is up there with such unbelievably moronic movie titles like Dude, Where's My Car? and Snakes on a Plane. Even something like Slaughterhouse Train would have been a better title. Secondly, this film was so gruesome and bloody, I found myself turning away at several points. I have seen plenty of slasher flicks before, but this movie literally made me physically ill to watch some of the scenes because of the fact that they were so gratuitous and because of the voluminous level of blood spilt throughout. I read another reviewers post on horror vs. slasher films and I agree 100% when they said, and I am paraphrasing here, "Horror is supposed to scare and frighten you, not gross you out". This movie is NOT a horror film – it's a SLASHER film!!Thirdly, I was hoping that Bradley Cooper being in it would've given the movie a little boost, but even he couldn't save this weak story along with a bad supporting cast (Leslie Bibb was so corny and cardboardish as Cooper's girlfriend). You can have the most talented cast, but that means nothing when the script is poor and the story is just too inconsistent to hold together. Fourth, this film is just littered with totally pointless scenes like Cooper banging Bibb doggie style in a random place and Vinnie Jones cutting of warts from his chest and placing them in a jar of blue liquid (this weird scene was never explained or returned to later on), just to name a few. So many scenes like the aforementioned ones add nothing to the movie and must have just been added to increase its length…or the director said, "Let's add a sex scene here to mix things up a little"…or something.Fifth, the CGI used in some of the scenes was so fake looking that I was almost laughing at how bad it was. I mean, a pool of blood isn't magenta colored and reflect as perfectly as a mirror. I understood the effect they were attempting to achieve in that particular scene, but come on!! And the eyeballs flying out of the guy's head at the beginning of the movie was CGI a third grader could've created on his computer.Finally, the whole film is just so implausible from beginning to end. Are we really supposed to believe that hundreds (if not thousands) of people are going missing on this particular train and no one is any the wiser? Except for Leslie Bibb's character? And instead of going to the police, she goes to the killers' apartment with her one friend in tow? And then Bibb goes for help to the one cop (in a huge city) who is in cahoots with the killer(s)? OH, PLEASE!! How dumb do they think we are??If you like lots of blood and a story that makes very little sense, then this film is for you!! If not, then don't waste the 100 minutes it will take to watch this garbage
Andy Van Scoyoc The only reason I'm even giving this film as high a rating as I did, was because the gore was pretty good and Vinnie Jones.Never has a man been more menacing than by just looking at you.Other than that, the whole movie is stupid and a waste of time.If Vinnie Jones hadn't carried this entire movie and I hadn't been morbidly curious as to how it was going to end, I'd have stopped watching after the first few minutes. No wonder the new exec at LionsGate didn't want to be bothered with it.I wouldn't have either. Just proves...just because it's big name and big budget, doesn't mean it's good.Unless you're a huge Vinnie Jones fan and/or just like gratuitous gore... AVOID.
milosprole9 This movie was an excellent, but the ending was.. somehow solid, but it made this movie kinda forgettable for me. I love how they did for dark blue color, it made this movie more entertaining. A serial killer was awesome! The CGI was so bad, but still absolutely awesome! I think it's just very weird that Bradley Cooper starred in some horror film because he doesn't looks like a guy who should be in type of movies lol. He was good, but I think Jake Gyllenhaal would have been better because of his role from Nightcrawler (2014) and has a dark look. His girlfriend was annoying and really dumb for not helping and being strong. But all other than this, it was very entertaining movie and I really liked the story, but the ending is not what I expected. My rating: 9/10
