Title: watchable but forgettable.
Review: Rail Kings revolves around the quest by a rich man's feckless son who suspected of the murder of his parents, escapes justice by riding the rails as a hobo to seek the real murderer. He experiences the lifestyle and company of the various hobo jungles, love interest, robbery and murder along the way. Good box car scenery apart, this is a B movie special rather than an A train ride, with no name actors apart from a cameo appearance by Ernest Borgine of the incomparable hobo movie `Emperor of the North'. There are grounds here for a more engaging road/train movie to break out, beyond its otherwise base banality and disjointed direction. I watched Rail Kings via computor download, so I can't comment on the DVD format. To conclude: watchable but forgettable.
