This the best acting I’ve ever seen from both Jon Voight and Eric Roberts. Eric Roberts is so lovable for most of this. Mainly because he plays such a good dummy. I’m not used to seeing Young Eric Roberts, but this is definitely my favorite era of him. I audibly gasped when the credits said that Akira Kurosawa wrote the original screenplay, as I was unaware of this. There’s a lot of the Kurosawa feel in this especially in the themes. Rebecca de Moray was also great. I did get a little annoyed with the stock characters in the train control room. They were so cartoonish.
