Ein absoluter Filmklassiker- Musik, die tief unter die Haut geht, fesselt und fasziniert zu gleich, ich hab selten so eine gute Kombination aus Film und Musik gehört und gesehen. Danke fürs Einstellen. Es grüsst Birgit.
This is the most esoterically evocative pieces of music I have ever had the pleasure to listen to and to see Jon voit disappearing into a frozen death ahhhh amazing!!!!
Beautiful music, a superb film. Please watch it. It is yet another example of a film that has been forgotten over time, pushed out of the way by other, more famous films. Runaway Train and Heat are my favourite crime dramas ever put to film.
I agree with so many here. This film defines anti-hero fare at its finest. Were it not for the limited production values of its day rendering the screen visuals dated to today's 'HD-spoiled' eyes, this film would, I think, see more widespread re-screenings. Regardless, its cult following is well deserved. For those film lovers who appreciate 'today we die' desperation, devil-may-care courage, sub-zero fear, and malevolence honed to a razor's edge, this film provides massive diesel-powered tonnage worth. Each of the principals was in absolutely top form in this work, and as Quiet Side says in this thread, it has unfortunately been overshadowed by so many other perhaps 'more famous' movies, but none can approach the same visceral, frost-bitten, fringe-of-immediate-death caliber. The train-- itself an exhaust-belching ambivalent force of doom-- is but a begrimed, accelerating 'stage' upon which this death-drama plays out. Voigt is, without doubt, beyond peer as 'Manny', incorrigible-demon-cum-avenging-angel, the relentless driver of the piece. Once Voigt and Roberts hop the engine, and De Mornay awakes from her own rule-violating nap, all three (and you, the viewer) now guilty by association, you can't look away. **************** The Kid tumbled from his tenuous hand-hold, miraculously falling back into the unstoppable engine cab, frozen to the core but for a moment free of the blasting tempest. Manny, now a befouled God of Merciless Rage, cursed and mocked him, kicking-in the Kid's frost-bitten face until it was a bleeding purple mass. The Kid had risked instant death for his hero, but his hero accepted no acolytes, and he gave no quarter. "...You're an ANIMAL!" she screamed up at him, drawing the Kid toward her, attempting to shield him from further strikes with her own small frame. "NO!" Manny's leering eye and metal tooth glinted as he grinned down at her. "WORSE!" "HUMAN!" **************** Trevor Jones' use of this magnificent adagio version of Vivaldi's haunting 'Gloria' was pure, crystalized genius in both places it appears. Thanks so much for posting this mukke67. I happily re-absorbed it six times in a row, just composing this reply...
I love this film it makes me cry like now you look back on my life my friend since grade 7 now I’m 34 and he’s struggling with addiction and we used to chill all the time and I’m scared if I get a phone call I won’t care but I’m like 13 hours away from him and myself been and going mentally draining my use of pot off and on he’s doing harder and he’s dead from we all done we each other and our other friends we may have will just plat out say Douglas Peter is dead
Efectivamente, Manny se redime a través de su muerte y la salvación de la chica y el compañero. El tren mismo es una suerte de purgatorio. Considero más apropiado el título que se dió a la película en algunos países "El Expreso de la Muerte"
All the sadness and pain of human existence is contained in this music, and I cry desperately every time I listen to it😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
This makes me cry every time I hear it, so haunting and evocative its beautiful

No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast!
😢❤😢
We are human
Im free..
El film deberia llamarse "La Redención de Manny".
Absolutely, adolfo buffa! Jon Voigt played him to perfection!!!
