Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Micitype Pretty Good

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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

Uriah43 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.

suchenwi Oh wow. Movie history is of course not just a treasure chamber.. but sometimes, in the €1 bargain bin one can find such (unintended) laughing stock like this (and Cassandra Crossing too, which might make a cool double feature - I watched both on consecutive evenings, and had big fun with both).A funny unreality is created by mocking up a diesel switcher locomotive and two four-wheeler baggage cars as a "death train" cruising from Bremen to Stuttgart, Zurich, Bolzano, Trieste, Gorizia, Belgrade, and supposedly going all the way to Iraq. Suspend disbelief, geographical and others.. the idea alone that a EuroRail control room in Munich supervises train operations over all that area (with high-res light dots indicating where any train is at the given time) ... the really weird map of the area between Stuttgart and Zurich (where I happen to live, but the map shows Tuttlingen as close to the Rhine, and Swiss border).. the convenient passage between locomotive and train.. or the tunnel scene (replacing removed rail segments on the fly), which struck me as a possible sequel to Buster Keaton's General.. or more. Yes, and there is renowned actors, shooting and dying too. But if you are familiar with railroad geography, they wouldn't even be needed, the factual goofs alone make this a weird, but ultimately pleasing comedy.Of course it's low budget, so you don't get finales like the bridge in Cassandra Crossing (or Under Siege 2), the union station breakthrough in Silver Streak, or helicopters in the Chunnel like in Mission Impossible. Still, big fun as ignorant railroad drama, and worth an euro, or even a little more :) And in context of "Night Watch", a different way to watch is to see how the UNACO agents (Brosnan and Paul, who is lovely and strong here) have changed between these two films.

jimborambo88 I first watched this movie when I was 15. I saw it at the video store and I thought: Hey! Captain Pickard is in it, so it must be good. Although this is not an Oscar-winning film, it is an interesting film for those that are into movies that have Cold War elements to it. The collection of actors is excellent.Some may find the plot of a nuclear bomb on a hijacked train to be an absurd plot since everyone wants to know why the bad guys didn't fly it. If you pay attention to the movie, you are told why. In my opinion, the only thing that this movie lacked was realism, especially with the gunfights. Hey, I have seen worse movies though.Overall, I would suggest you buy this movie if you find it. It is not in production anymore, and it is easy to watch with a bag of buttered popcorn. Enjoy:)

Ray Massart 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.
