Sometimes the difference between life and death can be a Narrow Margin. Director / writer / cinematographer Peter Hyams’ loose remake of the 1952 noir classic is a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat chase thriller that barrels forward like an unstoppable locomotive. A Los Angeles District Attorney (Gene Hackman) is sent to protect a woman (Anne Archer) who witnessed a mob hit and return her safely to testify at trial. But killers are hot on their heels, on the same train and ready to make sure she doesn’t talk. All aboard!
