Viewing Notes

Man, this is one I wished I had viewed during my Bronson project (alas it wasn’t on streaming). Definitely one of the better Bronson/Ireland team-up flicks. Not knowing anything going in was great because this really is a mystery with some great action sequences. This is one of those movies that I’d love to see a making-of featurette as most of the action takes place in and around the train. Really terrific movie.
