Death Train (1993)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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.

"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

This could have been a passable movie if peopled by unknowns. But, when one sees the names Pierce Brosnan, Patrick Stewart, and Christopher Lee a certain quality expectation develops, and Death Train does not deliver.There is virtually no chemistry between the characters of Mike, Philpott, and Sabrina. Alexandra Paul could not have been less convincing if she had tried, and she is just not attractive enough to carry the role on looks. You never for one minute believe Brosnan as the super-expert operative (ala Commando). He simply cannot pull this off. And the character does nothing to prove me wrong as he ham-handedly muddles through his assignment. Ted Levine is also miscast as a good ole boy terrorist. Stewart plays Philpott well enough, but Philpott is no Jean Luc Picard! Only Lee emerges unscathed by this turkey. His Russian general is aptly emotionless, cunning, and clinical; ya gotta love 'im! Pass on this one, folks.

Here are my suggestions for the cartoon bubbles over the actors heads that showed what they were really thinking at the time:Pierce Brosnan: "My God, what am I doing in this piece of garbage"?Patrick Stewart: "Where am I? This isn't a starship".Miss ex-Babewatch: "Why won't anyone take me seriously? Mine aren't as big as Pamela's. See?"What a dreadful piece of crap. No wonder Alistair Maclean didn't want anything to do with it.
