Impossible story line

After a one under all drivers are taken off the trains for counselling which normally lasts at least a month. You're not even allowed to drive the train involved to the nearest depot; they send a spare driver to cover. When they do finally let you back you have an instructor sat in the cab next to you for at least the first two weeks.

So I'm afraid this could never happen in real life but why let reality stand in the way of a story.

Never had a one under myself but have been the spare picking up a train afterwards; messy. By the way, two out of three people survive though not necessarily with all their body parts still attached.

Somehow don't think I'll waste my valuable time watching this one ....

9 out of 10 films would never happen in real life.

Larkfielddj - I completely agree with you, the implausible ending was the (rotten) cherry on an already dodgy cake! I guess the filmmakers were trying to say that Paul kept his end of the deal even if it pained him...but then to have him write a story about it and not get jailed for murder is wholly unrealistic. And finally, to have Frankie throwing herself at him is, frankly, taking the piss!

I've seen films where I was happy to overlook major plot holes and implausible storylines because there was something about the whole package that made up for them. Three and Out is definitely not one of those films, though!

I'm sure your oh-so-valuable time is much better employed picking up pieces of people. I suppose we should be grateful that you took time out from this important work to tell us why you're *not* going to watch a film. Tit.

Exactly. Why ARE you letting that happen?!

It's made from bits of real panther, so you know it's good...
