Yes, this is not a bad action film. Even though it has elements of Die Hard and Speed, Under Siege and numerous other action films; it still doesn't have the same impact.Maybe it's cause lack of marketing, but I think it is more because of lack of snappy dialog and a good catch phrase.It could be the box cover or maybe the title, but it just doesn't catch the appeal of say DIE HARD, Speed, Under Siege - there's just not enough ZING in the title.The overall story isn't bad and a little more tension could have been made with the airplane crash and some areas such as chases.Had Sean Patrick Flannery been a headline name, this would be theatrical release instead of straight to video.Seeing all that snow brings the story to a slow pace, but overall it passes time and entertains in it's formulated way.
It has been a long time since I have seen a movie of this caliber (I didn't think it existed anymore). It was not good! In fact it was terrible.The acting was equal to that of 2 Fast 2 Furious, the attempted special effects where B rate 10 years ago. I am not psychic but was able to predict every event during the movie. This was actually quite fun and was the only thing keeping the DVD from being thrown out the window.The nude scene was about the only piece of acting that was not pathetic. Simply because they didn't have to move much and the dialogue in the scene was very short so they didn't have much time to make it sound that bad.I like action, I like suspense, I also like a story with a good plot maybe a few wise crack comments thrown around and I like to see a movie that looks like it was made by professionals and not a couple of guys slapping something together in the basement.So on that note, if you feel like watching a good movie: skip this one. If you feel like wasting a few bucks and throwing away a perfectly decent evening, then this one is for you.
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.
The film is OK. If it wasn't for Arnold Vosloo and the train scenes this film wouldn't have been a good one. Though I didn't think the nudity was needed but it seemed after that part the film really began. Vosloo put on a great performance and his Russian accent was really good. The other two villains were good and had big potential but the film never gave them a chance to be real bad guys. The music was really good and it could have been in a blockbuster film. Overall like I said the film after close to an hour or so the film really began after the nude scene with some good action especially the bald bad guy scene on top of the train. If you like Arnold Vosloo and train action then see this film soon!
