Synopsis

Gene Hackman stars as the assistant district attorney who faces a nightmarish train journey when he escorts a key witness (Anne Archer) to a Mob trial in this efficient remake of Richard Fleischer's cracking 1950s B-movie. Director Peter Hyams doesn't bring anything particularly new or innovative to his update, but the cat-and-mouse games between Hackman and chief assassin James B Sikking are a delight, and the action sequences on the roof of the speeding train are exhilaratingly shot. Look out for those veritable scene-stealers JT Walsh and M Emmet Walsh in the supporting cast.
