Summary: bad bad bad
Review: this movie was boring, worthless, ...., bad, waste of money, waste of time and too alike under siege 2. I see van damme movies to get some pure martial arts action, but this was dishonoring. There is about none martial arts in this movie, and its boring fights when there are. Go commit suicide and you will surely get more excitement.

Summary: Simply Awful, and Beautiful Laura Elena Harring Is Wasted
Review: Unlike other reviewers, I went to see this film to watch the actress Laura Elena Harring, the brunette beauty in David Lynch's cult film "Mulholand Drive." Like Naomi Watte, she had to endure the long period of thankless roles -- films like ... er ..."Lambada" or ... "Little Nicky"(!). And now Academy-Award nominee Naomi Watts hit the paydirt with "The Ring." So what about her in "Derailed"?Bad news. She is terribly wasted. She appears as a female thief internationally chased by the police. And the secret agent Jack sent by NATO Jean-Claude Van Damme arrests her in Slovakia and send her to Germany on night train. Don't ask me why night train. I just forgot why they didn't use airplane, but never mind. And for some reasons I still cannot comprehend, Jack's entire family members show up before embarrassed Jack on the platform, including his daughter (Jessica Bowman, "Joy Ride") and his son, who is Jean-Claude's real-life son under his real family name. Huuuum. And the actions mainly happen on this train, where some deadly virus is spread. Before you can say "Under Siege 2" or "Cassandra Cross," the film rushes into a series of very cheesy, trashy action sequences, which are painful to see. The settings are too incredible (bikes on the train roof?), the special effects are little better than B monster flicks made in the 50s, and acting and dialogues are simply awful. As to the last part I could have forgiven and forgotten, if only the film gives decent action scenes or some original ideas. No such luck here. And about Laura Elena Harring, all I can say is this. She is as beautiful as ever, even among the mediocre dialogues and the poorly shot screen, and I really feel sorry for her. This film is another proof that good directors like Lynch can induce the actors to give their best while ... the rest of it, no need to say. Like another action star Steven, Jean-Claude Van Damme skyrocketed to stardom in the 1990s, and I was then a faithful fan of both of them. OK, they cannot act, I admit, but they are always entertaining, and got some kind of brio, only those guys can show. I loved them for being what they were, and still do. But now, I think somebody should stop them, especially Van Damme, who still has a good chance of comeback, judging from his works (such as "Replicant") done with Hong Kong film masters. And fans, do not say this is HIS film. He has made much, much better films like "Timecop," and we should remember that.

Summary: worth watching
Review: Van Damme has had some great action flicks in his time and i'm sad to say that his movies seem to be getting worse and worse as the years go on. Yet i still put faith in the man to turn out another great movie.
Derailed is about 1hr and 20 mins of Van Damme kicks and explosions. Although this movie wasn't as good as i hoped it's still worth checking out. The idea behind the movie is great for a Van Damme action vehicle yet it needed some more fight scenes and better special effects. The special effects were so bad i actually started laughing, and i'm not kidding. That was part of the fun of the movie though. If you're a Van Damme fan i think you'll enjoy this movie, and if your not still check it out, it's still entertaining.

Summary: Terrible but a great laugh!
Review: Van Damme is back and his movies are getting worse . . . sure he has made some great ones like SUDDEN DEATH and KICKBOXER, but this one, from the people that brought you CROCODILE and SHARK ATTACK(and its sequels!) is so bad it's hilarious. Van Damme plays a government agent(AGAIN?!) who has to escort a prisoner across Europe by train, but in the process terrorists steal and unleash a bioweapon on board which she is transporting. And to add to the complications, Van Damme has his family, or the usual oh-the-humanity interest on board. The authorities, fearing a Europe-wide plague from the dealy smallpox bioweapon, attempt to destroy the train. Sound familiar? A rip-off of the far superior CASSANDRA CROSSING with hints of the equally superior UNDER SIEGE 2 thrown in. However, the enjoyment comes from the incredibly bad special effects that you will see. Check out the toy helicopter chasing a train set through papier-mache mountains! Exploding cars on the autoracks that blow up as soon as a bullet hits them, lack of route knowledege through Austria by the producers(all main lines in Austria have overhead wires and do not operate Bulgarian diesel locos), two toy train wrecks set alight by a kid with a match or so it looks and horrendously bad acting and dialogue that makes bad movies like BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE and SHARK ATTACK 3 look brilliant. So at least it's funny. Recomended if you love dreck and want something to compliment that bad movie cheese-fest you are putting on!

Summary: havent we seen this formula before
Review: Van Damme is damned again as a man flying high on a motorcycle on top of a train which has a virus set off, his family is on board and there are terriosts on board as well..wow..this ride sucks..sorry but its true..whoever wrote this should of known they were putting Atomic Train and Under Siege 2 together..its like the movies joined forces and merged and then you got Van Damme trying to do a Rob Lowe in Atomic Train, as Lowe stops the train from its deadly virus and then he transforms into a version of Steven Seagal in Under Siege 2, as Seagal trys to kick and kill as many badguys that there is...it went dead when the 2 come together. also starring Laura Elena Harring from Mulholland Drive fame which that movie is better then this crock..god this was so horrible

Summary: A dumb(er) hybrid of "Under Siege 2" & "Broken Arrow"
Review: Van Damme's most recent effort has a plot similar to UNDER SIEGE 2 and BROKEN ARROW which is scripted by B action film maker Boaz Davidson, the man responsible for such hilariously awful garbage as AMERICAN CYBORG.
Van Damme plays Agent Jacques Kristoff, who is assigned to escort gorgeous thief Golina Kostantin (Laura Elena Harring from JOHN Q) from Slovakia to Eastern Europe by train. Coincidentally, on board the train is a deadly biological weapon. After the train's first stop terrorists; led by the sadistic Mason Cole (Thomas Arana from GLADIATOR) board with the goal of finding and stealing the vial containing the deadly virus. What they plan to use it for is anyone's guess.
Now for coincidence #2: Among the train's passengers are Kristoff's wife and son. Things really start getting heavy when the virus is let loose throughout the train thanks to the bunglings of one of the terrorists. The leader lets him off lightly though: the culprit is promptly shot through the head, as all nasty terrorists types are wont to do. But as we all know by now, you don't mess with Jean-Claude. Especially when his family is involved. Butt-kicking time.
The movie starts starts OK, but soon derails itself. The addition of unconvincing minature setpieces and an overall air of stupidity make DERAILED about as explosive as a Bay City Rollers reunion. This movie looks and feels no different to any of the other direct to video actioners with stars like Michael Dudikoff and Jeff Speakman. DERAILED is a pretty anemic effort, but not Jean-Claude's worst: NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER and CYBORG are both tied for that dubious honor, but if like myself you're a Van Damme completist you'll want to watch it anyway. Don't say you weren't forewarned.
Extras include a behind the scenes featurette, trailers and subtitles in English and Hindi.

Summary: This movie was kinda like Under Siege 2
Review: When i heard Van Damne had a new movie and it was playing on T.V i was excited.Im a huge fan of Van Damne,im just gonna say,this movie was pretty good,but not wanna Van Damnes best.Van Damne is not been a movie in a while but when he comes back i hope its like the one in his old days.When i saw Derailed on USA,the beginning,like the first 20min of it was some boring,but it got better and better with the fighting and explosions.Even though this movie was good,but this one will be the one that Van Damne will be lest know for.I cant wait till he comes back, and when he does,i hope the movie is filled with his high flying kicks.
