Narrow Margin (1990)
Directed by Peter Hyams
An L.A. District Attorney attempts to take an unwilling murder witness back to the United States to testify against a top-level mob boss. Frantically attempting to escape two deadly hitmen sent to silence her, they board a Vancouver-bound train only to discover that the killers are onboard with them. For the next 20 hours, as the train hurls through the beautiful but isolated Canadian wilderness, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues in which their ability to tell friend from foe is a matter of life and death.

What critics compared Narrow Margin to
And in action terms, there isn't a moment in this hackneyed melodrama that De Bont and scriptwriter Graham Yost haven't lifted from other, more successful movies, including "In the Line of Fire," "Die Hard" (both 1 and 2), "The Fugitive" and the Gene Hackman runaway-train movie, "Narrow Margin."
(Op cit, "Narrow Margin," "Thunderball," "Patriot Games," "In the Line of Fire," to name but a few.)
