Runaway Train

Surprisingly moving movie. I it started off really cliche with a classic escape pattern (hiding in a pile of laundry and then escaping through the sewers) but then it gets a deeper in a struggle where the line between good and evil becomes blurred. On one side we have Manny a hardened criminal who while being our protagonist shows truly evil sides at some points such as when Buck tried to get to the front of the second engine. However one might look at this as him desperately wanting freedom. One the other hand however is Ranken who could be described as being "Lawful Evil" or a person who uses underhanded or violent tactics in order to uphold the law. Manny representing freedom while Ranken represents oppression and in the end we see the two characters as what they represent Manny being free while Ranken is imprisoned. This was a very very good movie overall.
