Train Ride reminds me so much of stories that I heard about in college. Every university across the nation should have this film shown in freshman orientation. With the making of this film Rel Dowdell has surpassed the thinking of the todays norm of film writers and directors. This film does not portray the typical African American roles of drug dealers, comedians, and athletes that we see in most films today. This film is a reality for every culture and race. Wood Harris and MC Lyte's performances are brilliant. They get so deep into their characters that you can feel their pain and/or pleasure ? They remind you so much of someone you have met or still do know. The ability to even imagine, write and direct this film says a lot. I can't wait to see what Rel has next ?
