It will take you to the edge of suspense.

Overview

An L.A. District Attorney attempts to take an unwilling murder witness back to the United States to testify against a top-level mob boss. Frantically attempting to escape two deadly hitmen sent to silence her, they board a Vancouver-bound train only to discover that the killers are onboard with them. For the next 20 hours, as the train hurls through the beautiful but isolated Canadian wilderness, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues in which their ability to tell friend from foe is a matter of life and death.

A review by JPV852
Written by JPV852 on 2025-09-29
Second time watching this and still a solid thriller with a great finale that, save for one shot, looked practical which was great and today would've been done with visual effects. Good performances from Hackman and Archer and at only 94-minutes, a quick but entertaining way to spend a weekend night. **3.5/5**
