Impossible to categorise documentary turns out to be impossible to predict, too. Starts off looking like a fairly conventional documentary, complete with celebrity interviewees (Penn Jilette, Weird Al Yankovich, etc) and archive footage, but very soon the narrative of the documentary takes a hard left turn and becomes something totally unexpected.

Sort of a commentary on and deconstruction of the current golden age of documentary feature film making, but also a genuinely intriguing puzzle box of a film. It stops being about the putative subject and becomes a documentary about what it means to make documentaries. The director starts to question everything that's going on and I did, too. Maybe it doesn't have the big reveal at the end I was expecting, but it's still fascinating, thought-provoking, and often very funny.

All Aboard The Train: Ticket Please
The Commuter- combines the Taken franchise, Non-Stop and Run All Night mixs it with Murder on The Orient Express and Strangers on a Train. All those togther results into this movie. A decent action suspense thriller starting Liam Nesson.

The Plot: Insurance salesman Michael is on his daily commute home, which quickly becomes anything but routine. After being contacted by a mysterious stranger, Michael is forced to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on the train before the last stop. As he works against the clock to solve the puzzle, he realizes a deadly plan is unfolding, and he is unwittingly caught up in a criminal conspiracy that carries life and death stakes for everyone on the train.

I would reccordmend watching this movie, cause its good.

deeper strategy than anticipated
Theme doesn't really fit.... maybe it should be the English? (0 more)
Better than it should be considering you don't plunder pillage anything.
I really enjoyed my play of this one, we took it home and played it about 3 more times that night. It really is a fast economic based game. but the puzzle of the market bidding is fun. and trying to anticipate others moves is also fun. So far we have only played the basic rules, and not made our way to the advanced ones yet. But I'm glad I've added this to our collection.

All that said: don't expect to do viking things, there is no killing and pillaging, and raiding... your warriors defend, and don't attack... seems like a miss as far as theme goes.
