It was praised and got 3 Oscar nominations. But, it was a box office disappointment and it only has a 67 on Metacritic (same with Top Critics on RT).
My 'disappointment" comes from it's pedigree as I wrote. The acclaimed actors, a fine international director and Akira Kurosawa!!
Considering its pedigree, RUNAWAY TRAIN is a bit of a disappointment. Acclaimed Russian Director Andrey Konchalovskiy. A Screenplay based on an Akira Kurosawa story. Three Oscar nominations: both stars, Jon Voigt and Eric Roberts, as well as for Editing. It's a decent enough Prison Break...
