not as good as all the hype

Better than most people think

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Sanjeev Waters
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

On an out of control train holding hostages and high-tech bio-weapons agent Kristoff (Van Damme) becomes a one man army to derail the terrorists and save the lives of everyone on board! Derailed is for sure not a great movie or even a memorable to begin with but it boasts enough Van Dammage to keep JCVD fans entertained and have a good time for sure. The film has alot of action, suspense and the acting was alright plus it kinda reminded me a little bit 'Under Siege 2' with Steven Seagal cause of the similar plot that the film had. (6.0/10)

An agent named Jacques (Van Damme) is forced to do a job on his birthday, much to his family's chagrin. He boards a train to protect a woman named Galina Konstantin. Jacques gets a surprise visit from his family with a birthday surprise, but his wife thinks he's cheating with Galina. Terrorists hop on board with a deadly virus, which is unleashed. Jacques must not only save his marriage, but save everybody on boardThis comes across like a hybrid of Under Siege II & Cassandra's Crossing. This movie was once on the bottom 100. While it is pretty bad, I've seen MUCH worse and even worse Van Damme films (Second in Command & Black Eagle come to mind) the problem is that it's much too cheap and dull for its own good. The ending is filled with laughable stock footage, and I just cringed. It also has a pretty bad moment where Van Damme commandeers a motorbike, and rides it on top of the train. The only good action scene in this movie is a decent car chase scene in the beginning. They pad it with pointless scenes, such as a cowboy (John Bishop) and a hunk (Binky van Bilderbeek) shooting the breeze, and getting drunk in the process, which proves to me that not much thought was put into this movie. Don't expect much vintage Van Damage. He doesn't do many of his patented moves, and we even get the annoying split screen thing with a fight. Believe it or not, the acting is pretty good. Jean-Claude Van Damme may not do many fancy things, but he gives a solid performance. He's not phoning it in, and gives it his all. He makes for a great hero, and has an impressive emotional scene at the end. I've always been a huge supporter of his, and he's really improved with his acting over the years. Laura Harring is breathtakingly sexy. Her manipulative character was a highlight for me. Tomas Arana is rather bland, but effectively sleazy I suppose. He did an OK job as the villain. Kristopher Van Varenberg pulls these funny angry faces, and doesn't really convince, but he does a really neat spin kick at the beginning of the movie. Shades of his dad! Susan Gibney is pretty good as the wife. I liked her. Final Thoughts: I've seen it many times, because I'm such a huge Van Damme fan. I paid 30$ for it when I first got it (Seriously) That should tell you how big of a fan I am. I regret paying that much for it, but it needed to be a part of my collection. It's a terrible film for the most part. Don't do what I do. See it once if you're a huge Van Damme fan and then forget it even exists. 3.7/10

OK, maybe a little harsh, but the plot line was stolen from Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, the editing was completely over done and the special effects were among the wort I have seen in recent memory. Actors did the best they could, but the people around them, bleh. And now, because I must type ten lines, here we go with my rant about IMDb. Really, Why ten lines? Anyone reading this figured out in the first four lines what I had to say and why I said it. Sigh. If there i one thing I could change about this otherwise tremendous Web site it's this. Please, I hope someone in charge is reading this and will change it.

Oh my god! I watched it late on cable and the TV-Guide said it's about a train-ride between Bratislava and Munich. Might be fun, I thought, to see some action-flick made in my area. But what the hell was that??? OK,the train was of European kind, even though was the location. But it was like in Mission Impossible 1, where the TGV runs on a single track, without overhead wiring(the TGV is a ELECTRIC TRAIN, dummies!!) towards the tunnel between England and France. The train in this flick did almost the same, running on single tracks, wrong stock, wrong looking area, without talking about the funny Hollywood-Germish mentioned before, this is at least entertaining. "Keepen Sie of the Grass"The story is really a mix between Cassandra Crossing and Under Siege 2, but thats OK, because i think this was a straight to video gig. But the producers should be aware that people from the suppose to be area are watching these movies and I know that some research could help. It's not expensive as well. This flick is fun, maybe Friday night, after work when you through thinking, having some beer before you crash.
