Movie: Runaway Train

[PZ]

This is one of my favs,with John Voigt as Manny, a deranged convict in a prison with a sadistic warden named Rankin.  Here are a few snippets worth watching, expecially if you do not mind the spoilers

Spoiler

"I'm right here. Come on. Shoot me!"


"Wipe That Piss Off Your Face"


"I'm worst than an animal. I'm human"


Finale to Runaway Train

Yeah I remember that when it came out. Pretty cool movie, I'm surprised they haven't re-made it yet.

Yeah, I would definitely watch a remake, but it would be hard to replace the job John Voight did

I haven't heard of or watched that film but those vids surprised me, looks like one of the tougher films of the 80s. Even Eric Roberts (Julia's brother) seems to have given a good performance -- usually not exactly convincing and mostly a B-movie actor, from my experience.

Eric is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, but maybe that is why he is effective at playing a criminal that is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I think you hit the nail on its tiny head.
