Reviews for Runaway Train
Highly unusual drama with single premise: survive the runaway train. A metaphor for us all.
A real horror: heavy-handed, stupidly gruesome, as claustrophobic as its train cars and prison cells.
O vilão é caricato demais, mas Eric Roberts e Jon Voight têm boas atuações. Alguns momentos são eletrizantes, mas outros, apenas bobos.
A great, suspenseful film from director Andrei Konchalovsky before he went Hollywood and on to junk like Tango and Cash.
