Man on the Train - BLU-RAY

A mismatched pair of convicts-aging bank robber Manny (Jon Voight) and cocky young thug Buck (Eric Roberts)-made their way through the storm drain from their isolated Alaska prison, and onto a freight train to certain freedom. They didn't have long to celebrate, as a fatal heart attack to the engineer trapped them, and lone railroad maintenance worker Sara (Rebecca de Mornay), on a rolling juggernaut to disaster. Andrei Konchalovsky's edge-of-the-seat actioner, based on a screenplay by Akira Kurosawa, also stars Kenneth McMillan, T.K. Carter, Kyle T. Heffner. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English; audio commentary theatrical trailers.

Coming off of therapy, the assassin code-named InchLadybugInch (Brad Pitt) felt sure his string of bad luck was behind him-and that his new gig retrieving a briefcase from a Tokyo-to-Kyoto high-speed train would be a piece of cake. He'd be wrong on both counts, as a half-dozen other contract killers were after the same prize... and their seemingly unconnected agendas would prove anything but. Audacious actioner co-stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King, Michael Shannon. 126 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
