Leave your thoughts about Runaway Train.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertRunaway Train is a reminder that the great adventures are great because they happen to people we care about. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a great, simple story, and, in the history of action movies, ought to be considered alongside Die Hard and Speed. |
| Washington PostPaul Attanasio"Runaway Train" isn't just bad -- it's bodaciously bad, grotesquely overblown, lurid in its emotion, big ideas on its brain. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThe nihilism and the vicious intensity of Mr. Voight's performance here are entirely different from anything else he has done on screen; it's a shame those qualities emerge in such a vigorous but disjointed film. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsShane BurridgeWhile RUNAWAY TRAIN does balance action and philosophy quite neatly it's still intriguing to wonder how differently Kurosawa would have handled it |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliRunaway Train belongs to a rare genre: the intelligent thriller. |
| CineVueAndrew LatimerThe true winning formula, however, is found in Voight and Roberts’ double-act. Their eccentric characters are funny, violent and heartwarming all at the same time, where we root for them despite the fact that they’re basically psychopaths. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonA terrific mix of tightly coiled action and psychoanalysis that has no place in a genre film from the '80s, but works splendidly regardless. |
| Future Movies UKMatt McAllisterA thunderous proto-Speed with exploitation trappings, it also works as an existential art movie with a serious director and a dusted-off Akira Kurosawa script. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA gripping action thriller that's also extremely well acted by Jon Voight and Eric Roberts in Oscar-nominated performances. |
