Summary: Van Damme on a Train!
Review: "Derailed" is another straight-to-video movie of Jean-Claude Van Damme. The lord played Jacques Kristoff and he had to transport a mysterious woman by train. A group of hijackers wanted something from her and it could have caused world domination. Once they got a hold of the woman, they dropped some of the virus and it started to infect all of the hostages, including Kristoff's family! Big mistake! Kristoff then punished the hijackers with high kicks and new Jujitsu moves. Talent. You need to see the fake helicopter and the really bad computer effects. But, this is Van Damme's version of "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" and it is still good. Once a god, always a god.

Summary: My wallet has seriously been van-damaged . . .
Review: How the mighty kickboxing bruiser has fallen. Ranking as one of the worst movies in Jean Claude's career, this sorry excuse for a movie is not only a derivative DIE HARD clone, but also makes UNIVERSAL SOLDIER 2 seem a whole let better in retrospect. Avoid.

Summary: Good Van Damme movie but low budget.
Review: I bought this movie about 3 years ago but never posted a Review but now i think i should.
This was a good Van Damme movie and that its a copy of under siege is a lie (ive seen under siege its not) this movie was good not just for a Van Damme film but a fan of a good action movie period.
The movie starts off showing a thief, she breaks into a government facility and steals from there. Then later on we see Van Damme at a resturant talking to a man about a mission hes gonna do, hes to meet up with a Thief and the man shows van damme the picture. Van Damme agrees to this but his wife is mad because he never gets to spend time with his kids but he says hell be back.
Later on in the movie Van Damme finds out that he was set up from the beggning, theres a bilogical weapon on the train and if it gets out it could destroy all of mankind (or those born after like 1980 it said or something).
All in all this is a about a man whos trying to stop a deadly virus, knowone else can but we know that VAN DAMME CAN!!

Summary: Entertaining, low budget movie that could've been bad.
Review: I don't understand why people say this movie is bad it's really pretty well done. Van Damme jumping from one train to the other on a dirt bike put a good touch on to the movie. And i liked the directing of the film for the fight scenes. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is at one point during a fight they split the screen between Van Damme fighting a guy and the girl fighting another guy, that was bad looking. Also when the helicopter blew up that was done a little badly. Other than that the movie was pretty good for a low budget flick.

Summary: On Track!
Review: I enjoyed Van Damme's "Derailed." The production values and the dark way the frames are shot makes it come across as a "B" flick, but it keeps our attention as we roll through this action. I enjoyed Susan Gibney who plays Madeleine, Van Damme's wife. She's appeared in a number of "Star Trek" TV episodes, "Waterdance" with Helen Hunt, and an independent film from last year called "Besotted." She plays a doctor and wife. She thinks that Claude is cheating on her when she shows up on the train with the the kids to surprise him for his birthday and finds him with Galina Konstatin, played by the beautiful Laura Harring. I enjoyed how her doctor impulses come to the fore as she ministers to the passengers exposed to the deadly SP-43 strain of smallpox. Van Damme as Jacques Kristoff does his usual number of stunts, climbing through vents, wrestling on the top of a moving train, and driving a mototrcycle off the train & back again! Jean Claude's real-life son also plays his cinematic son here as Kristopher (Van Damme) Van Varenberg gets a couple sweet kicks into the bad guys himself. The film concludes with the lessons that no matter how high up one is, they must be accountable as Jacques' NATO boss Lars gets hauled off to jail. This may not be the quintessential Van Damme film; however, it serves to keep our attention and moves nicely with director Bob Misiorowski's pacing. Enjoy!

Summary: Van Damme's worst and most recent,yikes!
Review: I hate ever to bad mouth this mans movies because he's brought so much to the action/adventure genre,but after watching Derailed I must say what I feel because it's on my chest.Van Damme's most recent thrillers that have skipped the box office and straight to video {The Order,Replicant}haven't been to bad and I can't believe The Order didn't make theaters.But his newest action flick Derailed is a disgrace to action movies and Van Damme himself,I can't believe Van Damme took the script after all the classics he's made.The storyline has been done before and the special effects look like it came from an old Godzilla movie.Terrible! The whole movie is garbage,I'm sorry Van Damme but this film is horriffic.

Summary: Rock bottom with a bang.
Review: I hated this Van Damme movie. I own all his others but I could not bring myself to add this to my Van Damme collection. I found this to be a very bad movie with very low production values. There was nothing in this movie for me other than annoyance. Very poor direction, cheap and laughable special effects, particularly the exterior train sequences where the train looks like it is made of wood, illuminated with a light bulb from the inside and pulled along by a piece of string. Bad lighting, badly filmed, executed and edited martial arts and action sequences. Laughable acting performances from all including Van Damme. Very bad audio post production special effects to such an extent that at times you can't hear character dialogue. I got the impression that a lot of this was filmed in very low lighting conditions to hide the cheap sets and obvious poor special effects. Basically the movie is a cheap rip off version from a mix of Under Siege 2 with Steven Seagal and The Cassandra Crossing with the late Richard Harris. I would say to anyone thinking of buying this to go and rent it on the cheap first before splashing out your cash. You might be thankful you did.

Summary: From former Van Damme¿s fan - save your time and money!
Review: I used to be a big Van Damme fan. Timecop, Hard Target and Lionheart are still among my favorite action movies. However, recent Van Damme's movies are rather weak. It is my personal opinion that without a interesting original script and quality professional actors portraying the "bad guys" Van Damme's movies aren't' worth the time nor money. Brief comments about this movie - very [poor] story, much weaker than Segal's Under Siege 2 Dark Territory. Some sickening pictures portraying Small Pox outbreak. Supporting cast, excluding Tomas Arana, Laura Harring, range from weak to complete amateurs. Also, special effects are very weak. On the positive, if you love Van Damme, you will see him doing his usual stuff in the movie. Also, his son makes a theatrical debut with some nice martial art moves. Overall, I would rather watch again one of my favorite Van Damme movies than this one.
