The best aspect of this movie for me was the environment and the atmosphere that it created: traveling in the confinement of a train with few passengers on a cold winter night.
The story was decent enough: one passenger dies of his own accord and is found to be holding a box containing a fortune that others on board decide to steal. Yet, instead of just stealing the box and reporting the natural death, the thieves decide to dispose of the body which leads to a series of complications.
There are two parts of this story that where stumbling blocks for me.
1). The notion that the thieves would dump the body is kind of stupid and over-reactionary.
2). Half way through the movie you learn that the box is somewhat mystical and contains whatever the viewer desires it to, which leads to even more plot turns. I didn't like the mystical aspect.
Overall it was entertaining and suspenseful but with some unfortunate twists that soured the milk.
