BBC1 - 11.30 Runaway Train Directed by Andrei Konchalovsky Screenplay by Akira Kurosawa
The Guardian says: "Two escaped convicts (Jon Voight and Eric Roberts) hitch a ride on a train that's hurtling, driverless across the frozen Alaskan wasteland, pursued by John P Ryan's pitbull like warden....it's a crunchingly brutal tale. Great."
If you can forgive some dated '80s-ness this is a film so butch that Voight plays a man who has not only spent decades in solitary, they welded him in his cell. Welded. It gets even more macho then.
My missus said it was "F&**(ng terrible." So opinions can differ.
I liked it. So, she can go watch something else in the other room.
