Runaway Train

Runaway Train
Two convicts escape from a prison situated in the snowy desolated Alaska. After a taxing cross-country walk n a swim across a freezing river, the two fellas board an empty train but their joy is interrupted when the old driver falls off due to heart attack and the train accelerates.

Some of the worst screen writing and acting I’ve ever experienced in a big budget star filled film.
The only explanation for this mess of a movie is that it must have been produced by the New York mob and they let some uneducated street thug write the script and then forced all these accomplished actors to deliver over the top performances at gun point.
It made me feel like I was watching a movie about a group of people with special needs going on a big adventure.
The only redeeming quality of this film is the action cinematography and scenery was pretty beautiful.
The mob must have forced people to give this complete stinker of a film good ratings too because I can’t explain how anyone would find this to be a good movie.
