Runaway Train Ratings & Reviews
- Richard Scott LongFebruary 26, 2026Great Movie! Voight in an Oscar worthy performance. "God Don't kill them....Let me do it."
- makdelartFebruary 26, 2026An outstanding performance by Jon Voight. The ending of the film is truly mystical.
- sti53February 1, 2026"You'll break every bone in your body, and then what?" "They've been broke before..." Very solid and tense thrill ride from start to end of the line. Recommended!
- Will AndersonOctober 12, 2025Too much language
- DisentSeptember 20, 2025Awesome movie, one of the best movies you've never heard of - gritty, intense, well written and even better acted. A brutal art house movie that never lets up in pace or tension. The performance from Voight and Roberts are both top notch, but I think this is perhaps one of Voight's best ever, chilling literally and figuratively. If you like the 1977 film Sorcerer, you will love this & visa versa.
