Following the ‘Sky
Fall’ other day, I watched the ‘Runaway Train’ in the weekend at home-theater.
Almost I enjoyed both the films, sky fall sounded like the best James Bond film
ever made or I seen - I am not a James bond fan and haven’t watched many on its
series, but I feel sky fall lives close to perfectness and straightforward. Daniel
Craig performance was really good and he proved to continue to fall in mind as
James Bond. Runaway Train is another interesting movie directed by Andrei
Konchalovsky, the 1985 adventure thriller is based on story of two convicts
escaped from a prison in Alaska, and boards a train that goes out of control.
Manny and Buck,
who escape through a sewer pipe using Buck’s position as laundry collector in
prison, took a freezing cross-country hike to board a train that runaway after
its engineer suffered a heart attack. Only after a collision that badly damage
the lead engine to accelerate to dangerous speed, the convicts aware the
situation and along with Sara, a locomotive hostler on board, they attempt to
stop the train by disconnecting the MU cables, apart the railroad heads
decision to derail the train to avoid major accident. The warden of the prison
chases the train via helicopter to catch the convicts before it collide.
The opening scene
of the train sound marvelous and its progress at great velocity takes on an
ever adventurous train ride across desolated snowy Alaska. Jon Voight as Manny, portray two different faces:
Vicious, while asserting dominance over Buck (Eric Roberts) and hit him hard to
scramble outside the engine and sensible, when decided to face dead by uncouple
the lead engine, leaving Buck and Sara safely behind. Even Rebecca’s part was
very little her expressions were expensive! The music really put on a vibrant
stream when the train moves esp. the final notes on violin or some other
instrument was awesome. Cinematography was another wonder indeed ruled the
scenario!
