Cormac 👑’s review published on Letterboxd:
There’s something about a movie set on a train that just... hits different. Oh public transport, you really are that hellscape where all good things must go to die.
THE TALL TARGET comes packed with a real-live punch of political paranoia and lit with the sizzling fuse of noir-ish fatality ready to blow at the first foot out of step. The ever-bubbling threat to explode and cause an irreparable rift in the time continuum as act of collision, as those engines chug and chug along as if it was their very lives depended on it.
It’s enough to have you holding on for each and every stop in the tracks. For at least that way you can make an excuse to slow your roll, catch your breath. It’ll all be okay as long as you steal that moment back to pause, think, take it all in. On second thoughts, we only have 78 minutes here. Full steam ahead.
If you’ve done your job right, no one will even know you had been there in the first place. Get in and out, save the day, make history and go without a name “like a thief in the night.”
