	Runaway Train (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Runaway Train is a 1985 film which tells the story of two escaped convicts and a female train worker who are stuck on a runaway train as it barrels through snowy desolate Alaska.
		The dispatchers soon learn that the train is not unmanned when a railroad worker who they have just instructed to switch the train to a dead-end reports that someone on the train (Sara) is blowing the whistle.
		The powerlessness that the train dispatchers experience in their attempts to bring the train to a controlled stop is the same powerlessness that Manny feels about his own inability to become a normal member of society.

		Runaway Train (1985) is perhaps their best effort, a film of such high artistic integrity that one would wonder how Golan-Globus could have had anything to do with it.
		When Renken learns that his escaped prisoners are on the train, he sweeps aside all notions of practicality to go on revenge-driven quest to dispose of the one prisoner he couldn't control.
		Runaway Train is an exemplary action film with running themes concerning the nature of man and what he's capable of in the harshest conditions.

	Runaway Train The Movie
		In every scene when they were trying to get the train stopped, they would hack at the ice covered cable and it would eventually come apart in the middle along with the sound of the prime mover on the loco throttling down.
		Movie writers usually don;t know jack about trains and even if the guy that wrote Runaway Train knew every function on a locomotive, he took creative liecense so the movie wouldn;t be 3 minutes long.
		Life imitated art when there was a real runaway train earlier this year, and the train was stopped by being chased by an engine which coupled into it and slowed it enough so that someone could climb aboard the unmanned engine.

	Runaway Train
		Runaway Train is one of those underrated gems that seems to disappear in the blur of its own out of control vehicle.
		Somehow they survive the frigid ice of Alaska and find their way onto a train, but something goes awry and the train vaults out of control, leaving the prisoners on board a train heading for destruction.
		The snowy weather and the racing train are a video challenge and the transfer and compression succeed in delivering a good picture.

		The plot of the movie (Sinatra tries to kill the President of the US when he arrives in town via special train, Hayden is the local sheriff) is pretty bad, but there are some good train scenes.

		While Runaway Train is undeniably a good film, and certainly in the top 10% of all American films, there were several aspects of it that I had problems with.
		Later, once it is clear that the train will soon derail with the prisoners certain to perish, Ranken is willing to risk his life and that of others to kill Manny first.
		The real problem is that she seems little disturbed that she is trapped on a death train with two escaped prisoners until the pair begin a fight amongst themselves.

	Runaway Train review (1985) Jon Voight - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Runaway Train was originally an Akira Kurosawa project called back in the mid-1960s, which would have been an American production for the famous Japanese filmmaker.
		At its heart, Runaway Train is a b-movie premise that manages to rise up into a respectable thriller, mostly due to the grittiness of the developments, and the interesting performances by the leads.
		Runaway Train is a good "bad" movie -- a movie that should have been bad, but which is elevated a tick because of the eccentric performances and inherently engaging plot.

		To prevent a disastrous head-on collision, the railroad heads decide to derail the runaway train, killing its occupants to save the lives of hundreds of others.
		As doom approaches, Manny apparently goes mad, viciously preventing any attempts to stop the train or rescue its passengers: if he's to die, and if the others are to be saved, it will be on his terms, or no terms.
		Runaway Train was slated as a project for Akira Kurosawa in 1970, but for various creative and scheduling reasons, it remained on the back burner for 15 years.

	Runaway Jury - Movie Review
		'Runaway Jury' is, like 'The Firm', 'The Pelican Brief', 'The Client' and 'The Rainmaker', a dependable, workmanlike film adaptation of a John Grisham novel, perfectly suited to make intercontinental flights seem shorter, if only you could make out the dialogue over the roar of the plane's engines.
		With a plot that combines courtroom drama with corporate misdeeds and confidence trickery, it rattles along like a runaway train - and though you can see from early on where it is heading, it still makes for a thrilling enough ride.
		The film's screenplay is really no more than efficient, but is greatly elevated by having such high-calibre actors utter its lines, as though to prove that, in cinema as much as in a courtroom, success depends less on the merits of the case than on the quality of the advocates hired to present it.

	The Command Post - Op-Ed - Runaway Train, Existentialism And The War On Terror
		The dialogue is not very good -- the screenplay was translated from Japanese and the movie has a Russian director who apparently doesn't have an ear for English dialogue.
		The movie even suggests as much when the Voight character is called an animal and he says no, he's worse: he's human.
		The larger message of the movie, and the context in which that quote takes on a different meaning, is existential.

		Originally, the character played by Jon Voight was a convicted killer, but writer and ex-con Edward Bunker changed him to a safe cracker because he felt the other prisoners would not respect a killer.
		"Runaway Train" is not a perfect film, some of the minor supporting performances are really awful and some viewers may find Eric Roberts to be irritating, but the sheer kineticism, among the other stronger elements, makes it worthwhile.
		The simplicity of its metaphors doesn't dull the impact of "Runaway Train" as a sensory experience, though, because it's still pretty potent stuff.

		In the end, after all of the incredible stunt work and amazing train work, after all of the violence and emotion, it comes down to two big men (Manny and Rankin) finally confronting each other, in one final test to prove which is the stronger.
		The last scene of RUNAWAY TRAIN is a lyrical masterpiece worthy to be compared to the most visionary works of german director Werner Herzog or to the silent films of King Vidor.
		A lot in the picture doesn't make sense, such as why the train, which is barreling along at 90 mph, doesn't simply derail after plowing through snowdrifts and crashing into the caboose of a sidetracked train.

	DVD Review - Runaway Train
		For as much suffering as he had to endure in prison, it's nothing compared to being trapped on a train with such annoying comrades.
		There are some great external shots of the train that are awe-inspiring, and make me long for the days when the blue screen wasn't used as much.
		The menus have animated snow, which is a cute touch and is appropriate considering how cold and bleak the movie is. And when you make a menu selection, it gives the sound and illusion of a train coming right at you.

		Looking back, I'm very glad I didn't run away but the pain was very real at the time (and still is, to an extent).
