I like Runaway Train too, but. . . , posted on March 8, 2025 at 02:20:39

. . . as for Rebecca de Mornay, well, an actress she ain't - at least IMHO. Near the end, when she says, "He knows what he wants to do!" (as her voice trails off unconvincingly) - it never fails to make me wince! In fact, it became a joke over the years at our house - from time to time (and out of the blue), each of us would suddenly deliver the line just as she did - to the amusement of the rest of the family!

But that's OK - I agree with you that it's still a great movie! ;-)

And I love their use of a movement from the Vivaldi Gloria (in a heavy, romantic Russian performance) near the end too - great use of music there, perfect for the scene! Speaking of which, the director, Andrei Konchalovsky, also did a production of Boris Godunov in Italy, using Mussorgsky's original version rather than the more colorful Rimsky-Korsakov version - also available on blu-ray.

All great and more recently... Heretic ... N/T, posted on March 8, 2025 at 11:03:24
