Movie Reviews

Tampa Bay Times - 8/10 by Hal LipperHyams boosts the set-up with some heavy-duty action, but the journey follows essentially the same tracks as in '52 for an exciting ride. Hackman is boringly good, but Archer (like Marie Windsor before her) enjoys the more ambivalent role.
Newsweek - 7/10 by Nina DarntonIt manages to keep you going until the end and delivers the appropriate payoffs as a generic-brand thriller.
Chicago Tribune - 6/10 by Johanna SteinmetzWhat this sometimes witty time-filler never quite manages is a genuine sense of confined menace. For that, you'll have to get aboard the original when it next plays on TV.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Sheila BensonNarrow Margin is nothing if not a hard-edge train thriller and to swathe it in so much atmospheric murk that audiences are going to suspect the premature arrival of cataracts seems counterproductive, at the very least.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Caryn JamesThough the story evokes old movie formulas - from Strangers on a Train to the 1952 film The Narrow Margin, which inspired it - this film does not reinvent them. It dully echos their conventions.
Entertainment Weekly - 5/10 by Owen GleibermanNarrow Margin, despite a sturdy turn by Gene Hackman as a cynical assistant DA, is a thinly scripted procession of train-movie clichés.
Boston Globe - 5/10 by Jay CarrNarrow Margin feels more tired than classic, even if it manages to provide some thrills. There's just not enough there to grab us.
Rolling Stone - 4/10 by Peter TraversThis is vintage B-movie material, and if you really want to catch a vintage B movie that uses the material effectively, try the original 1952 version of the same name.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 4/10 by Rick GroenNarrow Margin is a clumsy version of the Idiot Plot, dressed up as a high-gloss chase thriller. The Idiot Plot, of course, is any plot that would be resolved in five minutes if everyone in the story were not an idiot. And rarely has there been a film in which more idiots make more mistakes than in this one.
