Review of Silver Streak (1976) by Pete 1 — 14 Nov 2011
The sad case of a childhood favorite that didn't stand the test of time as well as hoped. Especially the set up of this crime comedy about a man witnessing a murder on a train trip from L.A. to Chicago, is rather slow.
Once the plot thickens things are rather interesting, and it's pretty funny to behold how often George has to get back on the train. The longer the film is running the better its timing works, and the showdown and final crash into Chicago train station is breath taking and spectacular.
Not a flawless film by any means, once the nostalgia wears off, but still very decent entertainment.
