A train full of strangers, one destination, zero idea who's getting off alive.
Based on Graham Greene's novel Stamboul Train, the movie focuses on the lives of individuals aboard the Orient Express as it makes a three-day journey from Ostend to Constantinople.
Acting
Heather Angel's tremulous Coral—vulnerable steel in a fragile frame.

Paul Martin
