Dies und das:

Body count: 35

Pannen:

Fehler, die von Charakteren gemacht werden (möglicherweise Absicht der Filmemacher): The announcement also contradicts itself, telling passengers both that the train is for Hatton Cross and that they must change at Acton Town for Hatton Cross. Also, the instruction "all change" means that passengers for ANY other destination must change, and is not used in relation to a specific destination.

A Super Thriller

This is an outstanding thriller, a movie I have always enjoyed watching since it came out. Apparently a number of people also did since a few sequels followed featuring the main character ex-CIA analyst "Jack Ryan," played by Harrison Ford.

Sean Bean was excellent as the revenge-obsessed villain, a member of a "splinter group," as its labeled not really an IRA extremist, but one too out-of- control for any group. Ford is the man best able to stop him and the film is very interesting start-to-finish and smart enough not to overdo the violence. Suspenseful is probably the best word to describe the movie as Bean goes after Ford's family.

Anne Archer, as Ford's wife, along with the rest of the cast, actors such as Patrick Bergen, James Earl Jones, James Fox, Richard Harris and a young Thora Birch make this a well- acted movie.

This is simply one of the best thrillers I've ever seen and almost every scene is interesting.
