From Peter Hyams, the acclaimed director of Busting, Capricorn One, Outland, Running Scared and Sudden Death, comes this suspenseful remake of the 1952 classic Richard Fleischer film noir. Screen legend Gene Hackman (The Package, Mississippi Burning) stars as an L.A. District Attorney attempting to take an unwilling murder witness (Anne Archer, Good Guys Wear Black) back to the United States to testify against a top-level mob boss. Frantically attempting to escape two deadly hitmen sent to silence her, they board a Vancouver-bound train only to find the killers are onboard with them. For the next 20 hours, as the train hurls through the beautiful but isolated Canadian wilderness, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues in which their ability to tell a friend from foe is a matter of life and death. James B. Sikking (The Pelican Brief), J.T. Walsh (Needful Things), M. Emmet Walsh (Fletch), Susan Hogan (Phobia) and Harris Yulin (The Midnight Man) co-star in this action-packed thriller with top notch widescreen cinematography by writer/director Hyams.

Not really a huge upgrade in the picture quality over the standard Blu-ray version. Picture with lots of grain and no HDR but still looks pretty good. Audio is 5.1 HD-dts that sounds really good.
