Runaway Train(1985)

7.2/10

dir. Andrei Konchalovsky

A-Tier

A hardened convict and a younger prisoner escape from a brutal prison in the middle of winter only to find themselves on an out-of-control train with a female railway worker while being pursued by the vengeful head of security.

Flashdance(1983)

6.2/10

dir. Adrian Lyne

B-Tier

Paramount's 40th Anniversary 4K from 2023 is a soft B-tier transfer for Adrian Lyne's stylized '83 lighting, with detail that comes through but never sharply. The Atmos remix is the actual reason to upgrade for "What a Feeling" and "Maniac". The US Steelbook has already been reprinted once. The bare-shoulder welder pose and water-bucket shot have the resolution to show texture the Blu-ray smoothed out.
