Title: Swell little train ride
Product review: A pretty good suspense yarn starring Jon Voight as a totally deranged convict who escapes from a prison in Alaska aboard a runaway train. Suspense builds as railroad personnel try to figure out a way to stop it (the conductor is dead from a heart attack), or at least divert other trains along the line away from it. Meanwhile prison warden John P. Ryan is determined to get aboard the train to stop Voight before he (Voight) becomes a hero to his prison mates back in Alaska. A lot in the picture doesn't make sense, such as why the train, which is barreling along at 90 mph, doesn't simply derail after plowing through snowdrifts and crashing into the caboose of a sidetracked train. The script seems as out of control as the train itself. But it IS suspenseful, and Voight's character is truly a dangerous psychopath - and he plays it to the hilt.
