Second viewing; first viewed on January 26, 1996.
A policeman is put in charge of escorting a criminal's widow to another city where she will testify against her late husband's organization. Members of that organization intend to kill her en route.
I usually like films set on trains, and this is one of the better ones for sure, an ingenious and economical script, very precisely directed, The resolution conspicuously strays from realism, but the film pulls it off quite smoothly. The corrupting power of money and the deceiving power of appearances are two underlining themes.
