Reviews for Death Train

Review - Death Train

It was relatively exciting and had a lot of major stars. But at the same time, there was something about it that screamed "made for TV" (which it was). The major stars performed well, but the values were below par. The story is based on one of Alistair MacLean's later books, long after he'd lost his edge.
