It's refreshing when a low
key film achieves what it is at
tempting to do. Such is the
case with Narrow Margin, a re
make of a I‘J!>2 film of the same
name
After a summer of blockbust
er thrillers that consisted more
of explosions than of actual
plot. Narrow Margin is a treat
With its basic story — a deputy
district attorney and murder
witness elude the mob this
film should not leave audiences
disappointed.
Carol Hunnicut (Anne Arch
er) is set up on a blind date
with a friend of a friend. high
rolling lawyer Michael Tarlovv
(| T. Walsh). While having
drinks in the hotel bar. Tarlow
receives a message to call one
of his clients.
both he and Hunnicut go up
to his hotel room. While
Hunnicut is in the bathroom
getting a drink of water, the
mob boss whom Tarlow repre
sents enters the room and kills
Tarlow.
Unknown to the mob boss
and his killers. Hunnicut sees
the murder. Now an unwilling
witness she goes into hid inn «it
•i remote cabin in the Canadian
K(H:kies
Or so she thinks, until lx>s
Angeles Deputy Distric t Attor
ney Robert Caulfield (Gene
Hackman) finds her and inad
vertently leads the hit men to
her location.
Caulfield and Hunnicut
elude their chasers by jumping
on a train heading for Vancou
ver However, her stalkers also
hoard the flier, and the two are
trapped as the train heads
through the wilderness.
What makes Narrow Margin
successful is its simple plot,
which never tries to overextend
itself. What the audience (ex
pects, it gets, and director Peter
I (yams ( Running Sittrud and
2010) keeps the ac tion flowing.
