Conclusion: Left Behind (2014) Film Review
Left Behind is one of those interesting ideas that don’t quite make it all the way on to the big screen. It’s a good idea and the result is a pretty decent film. I thought the passengers characters could have been a little more interesting to help with the tension. In the end they are merely ok and the film ends up being good but not great.
