Synopsis
Narrow Margin directed by Peter Hyams and loosely based on the
classic film noir of the same title, tells the story of a resourceful
District Attorney who must return a witness to San Francisco alive so
she can testify in a trial. Carol (Anne Archer) is in the bathroom of the
hotel room of her blind date when he is murdered by mobsters for
stealing money. Knowing she is the only witness, Carol flees to an
isolated Canadian mountain home to hide out. She is followed by
Caulfield (Gene Hackman) who knows that she is a witness and wants
to make her testify. When the mobsters track Caulfield to the cabin,
Carol must join him in a run for her life on a Canadian train. This film,
while it is somewhat uneven, is a tour de force for director/writer/
cinematographer Peter Hyams, who delivers a fast-paced, action-packed
chase through the Canadian mountains, stunningly photographed and
well acted by both Hackman and Archer.
