Customer Reviews of Runaway Train
Powerful movie!!! From all the movies Andrei Konchalovsky made (including in Russia before and after his American journey) this one is definitely the best. I wonder how much it's due to the script by Akira Kurosawa but in the end a powerful saga about freedom and fate was created. The story is about two convicts running away from the prison but is much more than that. It is full of symbolics. The movie is made in 1985 but it's as watchable today as probably 18 years ago. Jon Voight is phenomenal and Eric Roberts is also very very good. The rest of the cast is not on the same level (especially John P. Ryan, who plays Jon Voight protagonist) but it's probably not that's important. The cinematography is amasing. The scenes of running train in Alaska wilderness are breathtaking. The movie has a lot of catchy phrases. Highly recommended.
High drama and intensity
Jon Voight's riveting performance and his battle onboard the train with a prison warden are the most compelling moments in this otherwordly movie about escaped convicts and a railroad employee on a runaway train headed for disaster in the Alaskan wilderness. This film begins with a prison riot -- filmed at an actual prison in Alaska -- and the white hot pace never lets up for a moment...until the closing scene where Voight takes the engine to oblivion.
Along the way, viewers are treated to one of Voight's best performances since "Midnight Cowboy". The cast is comprised of character actors Eric Roberts and John P. Ryan in significant roles with sexpot Rebecca De Mornay playing the railroad employee on board the runaway with convicts Voight and Roberts. They stir up a lot of mayhem running through a red light and crashing with another train and going over a rickety bridge about 100 MPH before facing the inevitable when they are pushed onto a siding with only a fatal end in sight.
This movie has an extraordinarily high intensity level comparable to another great train movie, 1974's "The Taking of Pelham One-Two-Three". The intensity and drama never relents throughout the 111 minutes of screen time. The script isn't much and the plot is lean but the action, violence and high voltage footage will keep you locked to the screen during this most exciting movie.
A MUST-SEE!!!
A beautiful movie - this is beyond action...
