The Train Job

I just finished watching “The Train Job.” It was pretty interesting, sometimes more difficult to understand, but I’m still kind of excited to see the next one.

The most intriguing character right now is the crazy sister. I don’t quite remember her name, I’m not so good at that sort of thing. Anyway, I like her because we don’t really know everything about her. We don’t know what makes her tick- or what’s wrong with her. And at the end we know people are after her, but we don’t know why. That’s a really good writing technique, to give us only a little bit, so the viewers have to keep watching to find out more.

I also enjoyed this episode because the moral dilemma the captain had to face. Apparently they are thieves, so they are in the line of misdeeds. But in this episode they steal medicine from the ill for the ‘bad guy.’ They have to make a decision to risk their life or risk the lives of all the people that are sick. Ultimately, they risk their life. This is a very defining characteristic of the captain and co-captain. This shows the audience that even though they are thieves and ‘bad’ people, they are still the hero’s of the show and the people we root for in the end.

There are a group of interesting people on the ship and throughout the show we will see how each different personality interacts and is stronger or weaker together. In this episode, we see how the captain and hairdresser work together. There is obvious sexual chemistry, but they use that and their quick thinking to escape from the train station and travel forward.
