RANT - Man on the Train

What is billed as a "Crime movie" starts out so slow it may lose you in the first 15 minutes - hell, it runs at a snail's pace throughout, so there's hardly anything to get into at all.

The man who arrives by train into a small town hooks up separately with two people - the first is an old professor (Donald Sutherland) who welcomes the traveler into his home; the second is an Eastern European crook planning to rob the local bank with the train traveler.

What's clear by the end of the movie is that the professor and the criminal from the train long to be in the other man's place, and that I'd rather be somewhere else than watching this.
