Review of Runaway Train (1985) by Private U — 15 Feb 2008
Somehow, this remarkable film, which should on the Best Of list for the year it was released and for the decade of every film critic alive, seems to have fallen beneath the radar. Possibly Voight's best performance, De Mornay (who needs to be in more movies) has a pivotal, small role, and Roberts.
.. well, he redeems his career in this. Based on a Kurosawa screenplay, one wonders how The Master would have handled it. Even so, I cannot conceive of a better rendition.
