Consumer DVD Review

[Top]

Cannon only made one good movie & this is it. Infact its a classic. The direction & camera work is as fast as the narrative & the central performances are are as strong as the language. Eddie Bunker also appears in this gripping & some times poetic film of 2 convicts trapped on a speeding out of control train.
