This is a provocative film with its mesmerizing visuals and minimalist style, the latter which at times can test the patience of the viewer. With sparse dialogue, the film follows the path of a hired hit man in Spain who travels (like the trains he also rides) through various "stations" where he is met and given coded instructions for his next step. The cinematography is wonderful, with each frame of the film almost as if it were a painting, echoing the fascination that the hit man has with paintings and art. Not everyone will enjoy Jarmusch's style but those who appreciate originality and inventiveness in film will appreciate this one.
