The sadly underseen gem has an 86% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Our TV movie pick for tonight (Wednesday, 12 February) 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 3.10am 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:
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade / Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – Film4 – 6.25pm / 9pm
The third and fourth Indiana Jones entries.
Casino Royale – ITV4 – 8pm
Not Daniel Craig’s first outing as Bond but the ’60s spy parody with David Niven headlining an all-star cast. It was a disappointment upon release.
Chaos – Legend – 9pm
A limp action thriller starring Jason Statham, Ryan Phillippe and Wesley Snipes.
Sacrifice – Legend Xtra – 11pm
This low-budget Norway-set tribute to H.P. Lovecraft is very flawed but not without some fun, including the appearance of cult horror icon Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator) in a supporting role.
Renegades – Legend – 11.05pm
Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons is amongst the cast of this 2017 action film with a low 11% on Rotten Tomatoes.
12 Years a Slave – Film4 – 11.25pm
Director Steve McQueen’s extremely powerful Oscar Best Picture winner.
Locke – Film4 – 2.05am
The brilliantly tense thriller drama movie starring Tom Hardy that we’ve recommended before.
