Movie Review: The Station Agent

Just about everyone calls this a "quiet" film. I guess there isn't a lot of dialogue, few car chases (there is one, kind of) or explosions, hence, it is a "quiet" film. There is a nice contrast between the introverted main character and Joe, the loud-mouthed snack truck guy. The female lead, Olivia, doesn't seem to fit in once the movie gets going - in fact, her entire presence in the film is a downer and I didn't particularly care for the actress all that much. Several other characters wade seamlessly in and out of scenes, the setting is very interesting, the story is intriguing...over all, a nice movie to watch on a crappy day when there is nothing else to do.
