Reviews

Sadly, the exciting billings for this tale of high speed shenanigans on a train don't quite deliver. "The Phantom Robber" pinches a fortune in jewellery whilst onboard the "Midnight Limited" and soon Dusty King & Marjorie Reynolds are on his trail. Things turn more violent as they turn the heat up on the culprit but nowhere near pacily enough to keep me interested. It is only an hour long, but has way too much monotonous dialogue from a pretty pedestrian cast, and precious little by way of adventure.
