On a night train traveling from Montreal to New York City, a banking executive (Margot Kidder) and a television anchorman (Michael Sarrazin) witness a robbery and murder. But when the body disappears, nobody believes them. So why are the CIA and KGB suddenly pursuing them? Directed by Robin Spry, this cold war thriller from Canada is often confusing but it moves along quickly and if you're not in the mood to dissect loopholes and inconsistencies, it's a decent enough timewaster. With the antagonistic relationship between Kidder and Sarrazin who are forced to become allies against their will, the movie conjures up images of early Hitchcock thrillers like THE 39 STEPS and THE LADY VANISHES but that's all it does ..... conjure up images because the film isn't remotely in their class. With Donald Pilon, John Boylan and Alan Scarfe.
