Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

sonthert This movie really isn't that bad.The acting isn't ponderous or terribly compelling, the story line is interesting, perhaps a little predictable. The actors are a relatively obscure lot. I may not be the most knowledgeable guy when it comes to low-grade actors, but I kinda enjoyed the cannibal Russian. He was funny. Not in an intentional way unfortunately. What kills the movie is the huge number of continuity problems.The soundtrack is terrible. Typical canned background score.I don't want to say too much about this movie. Watch it once. Or not. Its not the end of the world either way.

Russell Waddel It's a good movie, for a B-List action flick. I mean, the only real headliners are Sean Patrick Flannery and Arnold Vosloo. It is a direct-to-DVD release that has a LOT of footage from other movies.SPOILERS: If you haven't seen the movie, then please, skip down. The most annoying parts are the plane crash (taken from Stallone's movie "Cliffhanger" and some of the train scenes taken from some 1985 movie I've never heard of. The other annoying part is that in the climax of the movie, the true bad guy (played by Tim Thomerson) shoots 15 shots from a 6-shot revolver. I mean, I thought Hollywood was done with that when the old spaghetti western went out with John Wayne. Please, if you are going to have a guy shoot that many shots, at least give him a Baretta. END OF SPOILERSSo, overall, if you like action films, this one is good. It has plenty of action, plenty of OK special effects, and a good story. If anything, Arnold Vosloo is a highlight as the film's main antagonist, as he has plenty of psychotic henchmen. He even makes some of the cheesy, action movie cliché dialog believable.

london_mg I only bought this film with the hope to see Arnold Vosloo as a proper psycho villain again but like in most of his films he doesn't get much screen time at all which is very frustrating because he's the best thing in the film, in my opinion. The film is bad and totally unoriginal but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's a bit like a big-budget American TV series. Some of the action is enjoyable because it's not done on the cheap as I expected but there is way too much deja-vu. Sean and Ursula do an alright job, although I'd have preferred them getting someone better looking and cooler to play Natalya (simply because she is supposed to be this enigmatic & beautiful character) and Sean hasn't got enough weight to carry the film on his own as the leading man, especially with someone like Vosloo as the villain. The hilarious bit of nudity was gratuitous and pathetic, but the actors make you forget it quickly enough, thank gowd! The "crazy, violent & unstable" Russian stereotypes are very outdated and preposterous but the actors play their parts well, especially Vosloo(apart from his accent) who always looks at best as the big villain with his stature and expressive face (although I cringed at some of his lines). Anyway, I suggest you don't waste money on this DVD, only perhaps if you are a fan of Sean's or Vosloo's because there are much superior action/terrorism alternatives out there.

gbachlund Not a bad film as far as that goes, but anyone familiar with railroads and trains will be annoyed by the cavalier production values.Obviously, a railroad consultant was not employed, and such a consultant's absence is wildly obvious - for examplpe, a living-room-sized cab mock-up many times the size of the cab of the featured locomotive, with engine controls that are wholly unrealistic, etc.Of course, a non-railroad audience will be oblivious to this. Still, it's sad that a few of today's films, like "Con Express," are technically slipshod.
