After plenty of drinking, Will and his buddies slip a dose of a "date rape" drug into Katrina's wine, and four men violate her after she's passed out. Will and his cohorts think the whole sordid matter is over the next morning, but it quickly becomes evident that Katrina is not about to forgive or forget the incident. Train Ride also features appearances by Russell Hornsby, Joe Clair, rapper Guru, and Esther Rolle in her final screen appearance (the film was released well over a year after her death in November 1998). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    What an excellent movie! The story, the writing, the acting and direction were all outstanding. This is a must see movie. I can only imagine what this writer/director can do with a story with sufficient funding... Do yourself a favor and get this movie.
