Years after a desperate teenage Linda (Theresa Russell) gives up her baby for adoption, she finds herself face-to-face with Martin (Gary Oldman), a young man claiming to be her long-lost son. Linda embraces Martin and in him finds a welcome reprieve from her unhappy marriage to the neglectful Henry (Christopher Lloyd). But soon Martin grows violent and becomes obsessed with Henry -- a philandering man whose only offspring is an expansive model train set that devours his waking hours.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
3/4
The reason I didn't like Track 29 is that the film is unlikable -- perhaps deliberately so. But that doesn't make it a bad film, and it probably makes it a more interesting one. Go to Full Review
Molly Haskell Vogue Feb 27, 2020

Hilary Mantel The Spectator Sep 5, 2018
This is a wild and unnecessarily noisy film, with confusion and violence that becomes hysterical and outgrows its context. Go to Full Review
