Death Train [Region 2] Reviews:
Uninspired Action Film-redeemed by solid supporting cast
2009-02-02 - Detonator-also called Death Train-is an odd film with a strange, almost silly plot, some decent action scenes and an excellent cast of supporting actors. Be warned. Despite what you see on the cover, Patrick Stewart and Pierce Brosnon are not the leads. That spot comes to Alexandria Paul in the role of a naive but talented rookie agent. The film is also blessed to have Christopher Lee as the main bad guy. Lee plays a Russian general who is still a Communist at heart. It's a superb bit of casting and Lee gives what should have been an empty role a great deal of depth. Detonator may be worth a shot if you buy it in the discount bin but I would not pay a good deal of money for the DVD or go out of my way to watch it. Brosnon is fine as always in the role of a cocky hero. Stewart is barely in the film and has a cast on an arm, which he explains is the result of boxing some African Americans who think the English are wimps up in Harlem in one of the oddest lines of his long career. All in all, a forgettable film for the most part which can be watched due to a wonderful supporting cast all out to get paychecks.

DETONATOR
2007-09-27 - Very good quality of DVD, excellent shipping service.
I very much appreciated and enjoyed the film and have already ordered Detonator 2.
I believe that I will continue to purchase DVDs through Amazone and recommand Amazone to my friends as well.
Many thanks.


Detonator is a dud
2006-08-29 - Patrick Stewart is in charge of a special unit within the United Nations. He enlists the help of Pierce Brosnan, an old friend who apparently owes him one last favor, to go after a Russian general played by Christopher Lee. Lee has had a German scientist build two nuclear bombs. His purpose is to get them to Iraq and detonate them so the Russian military can come in and easily take over the region, thus restoring Russia to world prominence. His henchmen, led by Ted Levine, take over a train in Germany to transport the bombs. It all sounds slightly better than it plays out.

There are a lot of good actors in this movie cashing a paycheck. They can't do much with the poor dialogue and badly constructed scenes. Being an action movie, there is plenty of shooting and plenty of no one hitting the broad side of a barn. Several attempts at stopping the train fail, leading to hostages being shot. Overall, Detonator is pretty tepid. Not the worst movie you'll ever see, but I don't think its too high on the resume of anyone involved.

Detonator OR is it just Det-On-Actor
2005-08-29 - The movie is full of action of guns, shooting, and suspense, yet it lacks the feel of a good action movie. Of general feeling, it could have been made better. Why would I write - Det-On Actor becuase it was just that Det-On of Acting of
Patrick Stewart and Bronson. Everthing was predictiable and of course nothing worked to stop the train till the end of the movie. I would rather wait till you can rent it than buy it and spend the money.

Boring
2005-03-01 - The Detonator was quite possibly the worst movie that I have ever had the unfortunate oppurtunity to watch. Not to mention the most dullest. The acting was horrible, the dialoge weak, and everyone ran around like a chicken with its head cut off. I found myself rooting for Christpher Lee just to pull the plug, and explode the darn bomb.
Nothing went right, and the entire experience made you come away with the feeling that you could have done a better job, had the director merely handed the script over. Do yourself a favor, and don't even bother renting this movie, the time spent over it is definatly not a good way to spend those precious minutes of your life.
