"Narrow Margin" succeeds as entertainment on several levels. First there are two superior action sequences, one involving a helicopter and the other on top of the train. Gene Hackman turns in a believable performance, with nice support from J.T. Walsh and M. Emit Walsh. Ann Archer is forgettable as the assassination target. The movie is not perfect, but character development is good, and there are just enough surprises to keep you involved. The scenery and photography are another plus. I have not seen the original, so have no comparison like other reviewers, but "Narrow Margin" can stand on it's own as fine entertainment and nothing else really matters. - MERK
