Watch Death Train For Free

Great Film overall

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

One day while working in his office the man in charge of "U.N.A.C.O." (the United Nations Anti-Crime Organization) named "Malcolm Philpott" (Patrick Stewart) is informed that a German train has been hijacked and is headed to Stuttgart. Since this sounds like a matter for the German authorities he pays little attention to it. However, when another news item concerning some stolen plutonium from the exact same place as the hijacking reaches him he immediately assembles a team to check it out. The first person he calls is a former colleague named "Michael Graham" (Pierce Brosnan) who owes him a big favor. Along with that he also appoints one of his workers by the name of "Sabrina Carver" (Alexandra Paul) who not only knows four languages but can shoot as good as she looks. Once the team arrives in Germany the voice of the man in charge of the hijacking "Alex Tierney" (Ted Levine) is recalled by Michael Graham as that of a mercenary who worked with them in the Congo. But the man behind everything is a former Soviet general named "Konstantine Benine" (Christopher Lee) who is seeking to recreate the old Soviet Union by detonating two atomic bombs in two separate places. Anyway, rather than disclosing any more of the plot and risk spoiling the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a pretty good "made-for-television" action movie. Not only was the action pretty brisk but it also had some good suspense and excellent acting on the part of everyone involved. As a result I rate the film as above average.

With such a strong cast, one would like to assume that the movie would be good. However, lame is the word that comes to mind. I am surprised Brosnan would do such a poor film. The story itself was great, but the screen writer/directs and whoever else is ultimately responsible should be shot. I will admit that I watched the entire movie, because I never gave up hope that it would get better. It reminds me of Segal movies, all of which seem to follow this line of thinking, which does not seem to be completely developed! Shame on Patrick Stewart as well. Another fine actor who was tarnished by this movie. I can only hope that some or all of these actors were fulfilling some type of contractual agreements to participate in this film.

It might have been made for TV but it's certainly not your standard made for TV fodder.Firstly let's talk about the cast. Christopher Lee - Movie Superstar of Hammer Films. Patrick Stewart, star of TV, stage and cinema. Pierce Brosnan, Movie Superstar. Alexandra Paul, of TV's Baywatch.Ted Levine I thought was someone else, I mistook him for Martin Mull.The basic idea is good enough, someone steals some plutonium, builds 2 bombs, put 1 on hijacked train travelling across Europe and involve a rogue Russian General trying to restart the ghosts of the Cold War.Christopher Lee plays the rogue Russian General extremely well, you can tell he's playing by his own rules.Patrick Stewart is playing a pretty standard role for him here, it's an authority figure in command. Someone had obviously seen him in Star Trek and thought of him for this role. They maybe also saw him in this which made them think of him for X-men.Brosnan plays his basic action man role but also has a streak of lovable impish rogue to Alexandra Paul's very straight laced role. We have a Russian traitor in the unit which smacks of hatred for the old enemy, sadly it seems from the US film industry no matter how friendly The West is with The Russians their never far from detecting Reds Under The Bed.There's lots of good action, helicopters chasing trains. Defusing bombs. Slightly rubbish mercenaries.Overall the film is really good and exceeds the usual fair of Made For TV. Well worth a look if you haven't seen it and stands up to several viewings as well.

A long boring train ride is all that the movie has to offer. It's all about eliminating a nuclear bomb and when the team finally succeeds in doing so and then discovers a second device, the viewer has a feeling of "Oh, No! Not all over again!" The action scenes are repetitive and not convincing at all. Pierce Brosnan is his usual arrogant self and the rest of the cast just "act" as if they believe in the plot.Very disappointing movie. Action alone for the sake of entertainment and which is not based on a coherent or acceptable plot never succeeds in really thrilling an audience and many producers and directors these days seem to consider movies as a cheap form of animation for so-called adults.
