Death Train

Death Train

A band of escaped inmates has commandeered a freight train that’s gone out of control and is plowing its way through the Mexican landscape, it’s only a matter of time before some of them start slaughtering the passengers. In walks Ryan, a secret agent who possesses a single gun and one bag full of tricks.

Brian Genesse stars in this Die Hard similar movie purposely not confused with the Pierce Brosnan starred movie Death Train or even Arnold Vosloo movie of same name. Genesse stars as our gallant protagonist Ryan who is on a mission to stop criminal Weaver (Bentley Mitchum) who has taken a train full of people hostage.

The die hard rip off sub genre is quite enjoyable for me and even though Death Train has a lot of amazing explosions and regular fight scenes, it is rather a flawed and cliched movie. It does not bring something fresh to the table, but it is entertaining enough.

Genesse portrays the role of the main character rather well and is competent during fighting scenes, but most surprisingly he appears to do all of his stunts himself, including running across the top of a moving train, and so on.

In this case, the only disappointment arises from the fighting scenes where Bentley Mitchum overacts like it’s a comedy skit which takes away any danger from his villain. It’s not entirely his fault that the director fails to build tension around his character since he only stares at the camera with a maniac smile, laughing for the sake of laughing and yelling. And while the film isn’t perfect, you still loathe him and his pretty awful men since they all deeply deserve Ryan’s retribution which he delivers grandly after depleting the foes one by one in an understandable build-up to the final scene.

The film is undeniably cliché in several aspects, and I can tell there’s amidst the dozens of other Nu Image films that were assembled out of leftovers wrangled unsuccessfully into a single movie, with a third movie even making it into the VHS. In the end, I wouldn’t mind watching it again, and my wife wouldn’t stop laughing the entire time.

In a nutshell, Death Train is like a mildly amusing exercise and is basically a rehash of the film Under Siege 2, however, if you find yourself enjoying low-budget action films (or Brian Genesse) then it definitely won’t be a waste of time.

Alistair MacLean’s series of action movies about espionage had been dragged to its absolute bottom by the time Death Train, in the year 1993, dropped in to snuff this thriller out and sink it in the deepest distribution hole possible. Death Train, a copy of which had over 4 million views on You Tube and was recently pulled from the platform; if you use Netflix’s notoriously flawed calculator and treat one viewer as equal to a $20 ticket sale, then this opening equals more than $80 million which is higher than all opening releases of 2021 so far.

You’ve probably been forced to hide the fact that your friends, co-workers and even family members have been engaging in a campaign of sneaky deviousness to watch this overly cheesy movie behind your back. Regardless of anything, it’s your turn to take a complimentary stroll with the Death Train, or what is also less appealingly called Detonator.

A tv movie with the screenplay based on a novel based on a script does not exactly fill one with confidence.A vague sequel to the 1980 laughable film Hostage Tower, this time features UNACO (United Nations Anti-Crime Organisation) members who are hot on the heels of terrorists holding a stolen nuclear bomb inside a German train.

Not played by Billy Dee Williams anymore, CW (Clarke Peters) has the task of questioning a scientist who constructed the atomic bomb for an out-of-control Russian general (Christopher Lee). In the foreground, Patrick Stewart as Malcolm Philpott is joined by Pierce Brosnan who has reinvented Moses “Mike” Graham and is presented in a kind light as he deliberately loses a motorcycle race in any attempt to avoid running over a baby bunny.

In David Jackson’s thriller, the terrorists уnder Ted Levine, known from The Silence of the Lambs, are even boat through to Iraq. This would lead to the standoff between the US and Russia. A little over twenty minutes into the movie, Graham and his men have a relatively better sequence when they try and get onto the moving train.

For MacLean, there was no action involving rotors that he had not liked, combined with an absence of CGI, makes for some convincing action sequences. The story is somewhat absurd, and there are far few surprises towards the conclusion of it; for a man of Maclean’s abilities, who most probably holds the keys to the top, the threshold of drama is nuclear crises. But the accounts of how things turn out are simplistic old Boys Own books.

In works of fiction, death has no glamour. This film does lack artistic flair. In truth, Dying Train is about what one would expect of such a film and deserves a nice chair recliner. Any originality in the script, however dull, is entertained by the inclusion of popular actors who went on to enjoy greater success, as well as the sub-par action choreography typical of the James Bond franchise.

At the very least, the Siberian ‘set’ gives some comedy moments (clearly hoping to pretend to be located in Kentucky, Germany or Russia), while watching the New York of LaGuardia from the screen is, frankly, more unoccupied sections of the Eastern European airport’s runway. This version of the film I watched is called ‘Death Train Hollywood Action Movie Action Thriller Hollywood Cinema.’ Sounds more or less correct regarding the content of the film.
