I bought this for (...) and I was excited to watch it as I am a big Van Damme fan, so I put it on last night and I was really disappointed with it. There was two good things going for it - the first being VAN DAMME as the main star and the second being the storyline. Now I know this is straight to DVD but that's no excuse for really bad editing, through the editing DERAILED felt disjointed and the story and action didn't flow very well.
The story is: A train rockets across Eastern Europe. On board are agent Kristoff (Van Damme) and Galina (Laura Elena Harring), a beautiful high - tech thief. Holding the passengers hostage are a band of terrorists who have come to steal the bioweapon hidden on board. With the train out of control and on a collision course for danger. Kristoff becomes a one - man army taking on the terrorists and trying to save the lives of everyone on board.
If the editing was smooth and well handled if would of been good, even the action scenes were bad because the camera was too close to the actors you couldn't see what was happening. I like it when the camera stays in a fixed postion.
The DVD special features arn't that good either, it's just a making of documentary and a couple of trailers for some other films.
All in all not that good and I have the answer to stop the virus - don't watch/rent/buy this film.

This DVD is DERAILED by Sloppy editing
There is one particular Fight scene which ends Mid fight and all of a sudden one of the Villains's who one second before was in a crowded Compartment fighting with Van Damme and son is transported to a TrainCorridor on his own { 78 mins into the dvd } and he appears to be searching for Van Damme with a Clueless look on his face wondering what he is doing { he is not the only one }
There are other points in the DVD where very bad editing transport characters out of context and I had assumed it was because it was highly censored.
This is always a Bugbear of mine because as I live on my own and I am aged 53 I resent being treated as a Child.I always try to purchase the Uncut version where possbile But in this case I have to hold my hand up and admit I was convinced the British Board of Film Classification was at Fault but was amazed to Discover that DERAILED { certificate 15 } was passed with no cuts being made going by the BBFC Website.
So the sloppy editing has to be blamed on the Editor - How a Studio missed spotting all the jumps in plot line is beyond me.
Either they ran out of Money or the editor fell asleep and missed the edit points.
Perhaps the certificate ' 15 ' was not indicating - ' Suitable only for 15 years and over ' it actually meant the age of the editor.

Not one of JCVDs better films, it was really low budget, the fight scenes were so slow and telegraphed that you could see the bad guys patiently waiting to be kicked. The special effects aren't up to much, the story's okay if a bit unoriginal but then normally you don't mind that with an action film but the action was dull and uninspiring. All in all, I couldn't recommend it anyone, except maybe my dad who's really into his model railways!

This was so awful it was a great laugh and well worth watching!
Van Damme, who made some GREAT movies like KICKBOXER, DOUBLE IMPACT, TIMECOP and SUDDEN DEATH must have needed the money as by 2002 his movies were getting worse . . . Read more

Dreadful effects mar an otherwise okay actioner
I did find myself quite enjoying this movie. The plot which is nothing special keeps the action moving along and despite some dodgy edited in the movie I did actually enjoy it. Read more
