The sadly underseen gem has an 86% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Our TV movie pick for tonight (Monday, 26 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 Xtra at 1.05am so we'd advise recording the film.

It is also available to watch on the streaming service Plex.

Here are the other movies on TV tonight:

Terminator 2: Judgement Day - ITV4 - 9pm
