Train Ride

I saw this movie and think it is worth showing in all communities. I especially feel there is a strong message to high school female who are looking forward to College. I think our young people think that entering college is getting away from Mom and Dad, party, party and just letting their hair down. Although there are some sexual scenes, I feel High School seniors are ready to get an idea of the "real deal" This doesn't frighten students about college. We all know, an education is needed. There is just a "WAKE UP CALL" Thomas Braxton does an excellent acting job when he takes the blame for his actions. This being Ester Rhoes last movie, it could be a tribute to her.

Rel Dowdell has taken a serious topic of date rape and found a way to reach a variety of audiences (students, parents, and teachers) in his riveting movie, Train Ride. The story line and the acting in this movie were excellent. Viewers will feel a spectrum of emotions from laughter, anger, and suspense.

I just can't wait to see what else this talented and up and coming director has in store for the world to view.

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!!!!

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.

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.
