Our TV movie pick for tonight (Thursday, 1 January) is Last Passenger, an extremely tense 2013 British thriller.
The film tells the story of a group of passengers, including a doctor (played by Dougray Scott, Mission: Impossible 2) and his son, on a night train from London.
What should have been a peaceful journey becomes a battle for survival as the passengers gradually realise that the vehicle's driver has a dark plan for everyone onboard.
Released to rave reviews but a sadly limited cinema release, Last Passenger's great cast full of recognisable British thespians, its taut and tight screenplay and its impressive special effects make it well worth a watch.
Holding an 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie is airing tonight/tomorrow morning on the channel Legend at 1.30am so we'd advise recording the film.
