jalilidalili Late in the evening I was switching chanells on the tube and landed in the middle of a movie which caught my eye. I instantly saw something familiar about the locomotive, the police uniforms and the landscape, so I watched it 'till the end (it was maybe the last half hour of the film if not a bit less). I was very excited to see that renouned actors such as Brosnan, Steward and Lee played along with one of few almost good Slovenian actors (Veselko - the train driver) and that the movie was actually filmed in Slovenia. Doesn't happen very often. I soon realized that the film had quite a low budged (I mean it seemed like they couldn't even wait for Steward to get well, so they had him act with his hand in a cast and he wasn't very good at it), so I could understand the ending being a bit less then spectacular, but I was really wanting to see the whole thing. I was sure that everything leading to that flat ending was much better. I mean with a cast like that... But no! OK, the movie is a B rated action TV flick. I never care much about the visual effects, a good movie doesn't need them, but a movie based on nothing but fast action and with bad acting such as this, it would have nothing but good effects to rely on. There were none. It was a total disappointment. So the only reason I kept watching it was to see how many locations I was able to recognize. Were it not for that local-patriotism I wouldn't have watched it till the end.

johnny-08 "Death Train" is not that bad.You can watch it easily but you can't expect anything from this movie.Big stars are joined in this one,such as Pierce Brosnan,Patrick Stewart and Christopher Lee.This movie isn't good but it isn't bad too.Somewhere stuck in the middle.I know the film locations so it's a bit interesting to watch the movie and realize that movie stars of this class where in your country.It's not that usual to see Brosnan,Stewart and Lee in Croatia and I think that they all did good job.Most of them did this because of money but hey isn't that what all people do?I realize that there are lots of mistakes in this movie and that plot is quite stupid but try to turn off for a 90 min. and just watch the movie.It will work,just don't think about reality of the situation because there aren't any.But we've got excellent male actors in this movie and everybody knows about them.But they have to act sometimes in movies like this.5/10

Rob_Taylor Well, it's not quite Fantasy Island, but after watching it I can't help but think that the addition of Ricardo Montalban and Herve Villechaize would have made the movie much more enjoyable.The movie tries hard, but it's let down by a number of things that just make you tut in annoyance.For a start, transporting a nuclear bomb by train? Don't the writers actually do any homework about these things? Let's see, there's a bomb on a train....a nuclear bomb, no less. Hmmm. What should we (the authorities) do about it? I know! Let's allow it to trundle around Europe willy-nilly and not interfere with it, because, after all, it does have a nuclear bomb on board, and we all know that those will go off at the slightest provocation. Bah! In reality a fleet of gunships would blow the living s**t out of the train and they'd worry about the clean-up later. There would be no nuclear explosion. But wait, weren't there hostages? Yeah, right, you think the authorities would give a monkey's ass about a few civilians when they were being threatened with a nuclear inferno? It's this kind of stupidity in writing that really irritates me. Let's write a story and not have the characters/authorities do anything remotely resembling what they'd do in real life. Bah!Another example...when they track down the second bomb and its being trundled down the runway in an airplane, what do they do? Not shoot out the plane's tires (I'm no expert, but I think it might be hard for a prop aircraft to reach take-off speed with all its tires flat, assuming the undercarriage didn't collapse anyway) Oh no! They attempt to board the plane and tackle the bad guys mano-a-mano. Luckily for them, the bad guys, in addition to having a nuclear bomb on board, have also thoughtfully provided sandbags piled up in neat little mounds that make kind of mini-foxhole-like positions. Perfect for an onboard shoot-out! Bah!And, of course, earlier we are treated to one of my pet hates among portrayals of military hardware - the empty rocket pods on the helicopters. Before they even fire one rocket we get a great shot of the helicopter flying towards the camera.....and an equally obvious shot of daylight through the rocket tubes. Would it be so hard to block up the holes? Geez!Of course, the "rockets" turn out to be fireworks that, when fired, shoot off in any direction but towards the target. Oh the hilarity!There's not much to recommend this movie. It's unrealistic and just silly and nobody has any imagination or common sense worth a damn. Just don't get me started on the ludicrous "let's trap them in a tunnel" scene. That just blew chunks.Avoid it if you want to see anything remotely realistic. On the other hand, if you like really lame movies, it's worth a shot.

modius TV thriller made in the early ninties starring heavyweights such as "Pierce Brosnan" desperate for a Bond type actionner (yet can't seem to handle any action sequence), Christopher Lee (in perhaps his most boring role ever) and Patrick Stewart (who appears to be doing this for the money).Chris Lee is funding the transportation of a nuclear warhead to Iraq so that he can lead the Russians to re-claim the warhead by conquering Iraq (despite the fact that Russia were in league with Iraqis anyway - that's why the US funded Iraq's leadership at the time with chemical weaponary, etc).The plot is paperthin, I still don't understand why the a-bomb has to be transported via train. I don't understand how doing a "media" job will allow Chris Lee's "Iron" man of Russia to become a leader for Russia.The train also keeps stopping, the SWAT team are silly and there are too many breaks for obilitary adverts for Coca-Cola or Pepsi, or whatever the hell that Baywatch lady drinks.Its too long, too boring and annoying.Overall: 1/10.
