Masterpiece
How "Runaway Train" bombed at the box office in December, 1985, I'll never know because it's the perfect blend of blockbuster thrills and weighty subtext.
The story involves Manny (Jon Voight), a notorious prison hero, who escapes a maximum security prison in the frozen waste...
JPV852 (Rated: 8)
Really solid action-thriller and a testament that a bulk takes place on a train. Great performances from Jon Voight and Eric Roberts, not to mention John P. Ryan as the d-bag warden. Had heard of this film but never sat down to watch, glad I did. 3.75/5
