The marketers would have you believe that Train of Life is a touching, thought-provoking masterpiece. For sixty seconds it's exactly that.

Super Reviewer

A SUPERB TREATMENT OF THE INSANITY OF POWER RUN AMOK. IT USES HUMOR LIKE A SCALPEL, CUTTING LAYER BY LAYER UNTIL THE TRUTH BE TOLD.... SARCASM, WIT, AND INTENSE UNDERSTANDING OF THE HUMAN CONDITION.
