Train Ride

Up-and-coming Director, Rel Dowdell has crafted an intriguing film that comments on today's young people and their lacking sense of morality. Set on a college campus, the film centers around a date rape and its ensuing implications. Wonderfully acted, the film points out many of humanity's shortcomings, such as lust, competition, power and control. A well written, well directed effort that should not be missed.

A truly extraordinary film, writer/director Rell Dowdell and his cast did an excellent job of showing us that communication is something we lack in today's society. Societies where families are in search of the American Dream shuffle their sons and daughters off to be raised by everyone but their parents.

Rell Dowdell is by far, one of the most talented and gifted writers/directors in the industry today. His film (Train Ride ) definitely will catch the hearts and minds of everyone who sees this film.

I was very impressed with this film. Rel Dowdell is indeed an excellent story teller. This is a movie that I recommend for everyone to go see. The casting process for the characters were carefully selected. I am looking forward to seeing more of his work in the future. No doubt in my mind that this is just the beginning of a rewarding future for this film-maker.

I enjoyed "Train Ride" immensely!! I am so proud of this film and it's young African American Writer/Director. Oftentimes, new Writers/Directors opt to write about the more common theme (drugs/hustling). Although, this film was about drug usage, it was of usage in a different perspective and I could appreciate that. Not only was the story line good but it was consistent and entertaining and the acting was the best I've ever seen in an independent film! I congratulate this young African American Writer/Director on a job well done and I look forward to more of his work!!!!

Train Ride was a great movie with an exceptional performance from Woos Harris. His role was so realistic. The performance from rapper/actress MC Lyte was exceptional as well. The script was creative and the execution of the actors was just perfect. Rel Dowdell is a director with a future, we need more movies like this. Well written, acted and put together Train Ride is the kind of movie that many young people can relate to. I found myself reaching back to college after viewing this film.
