It's all terribly talky and low-energy; that wonderful noirish title, it turns out, was just a front for a history lecture.

After barely stirring to life, "Night Train to Lisbon" mercifully expires.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Night Train to Lisbon is a handsomely crafted, well-acted love story within a love story, even if it doesn't engage as much as it should.

"Murder on the Orient Express," this ain't.
