"Chance favors the prepared mind"
4 July 2005
Steven Seagall is the hero in this drama as the mysterious one-man gang who takes on a band of terrorists on a passenger train. Eric Bogosian is the top gun of the bad guys, a demented erstwhile government employee who wants to get even with Uncle Sam for what he feels was a wrongful termination of his employment. The plot is far-fetched but the action is plentiful and the film's pace speeds along towards its rather predictable conclusion. The scenes of mayhem and the stunt work are good stuff and Seagall manages to keep out of harm's way with the help of a porter. Morris Chestnut's character plays up the comic relief angle for Seagall but the effect is just okay. Katherine Heigl is the estranged niece of Seagall and the two have an uneasy relationship during the course of the movie.
