Just so...so bad

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

If you want a considered, thoughtful movie about the dangers of transporting nuclear waste, don't bother.If you want a few hours of mindless fun, explosions, "drama," cheesy special effects and "Denver" biting it, then you're good.The plot holes are huge, the script weak, the situation completely unrealistic and the special effects are what you'd expect for early-200s television. But it's fun. I enjoyed it. I liked seeing Kristen Davis in a role completely different than her "Sex and the City" role (she actually kicks a little butt and has a nice no-BS attitude). And I'm always up for a fun disaster movie. Worth watching if you've got nothing better to do on a dreary Sunday afternoon.

If ever 'made for TV' were a euphemism for 'crap' here's the justification. Nobody who knows how to act plays booty with a script that was written on a beermat. It's the cliché express. All the characters do wrong things for the right reasons or right things for the wrong reasons, such is moral courage. They'll never abandon their families or let down their buddies. The bomb isn't going to go off and the hero and heroine are not going to die. If you watch 5 minutes; you see the whole movie.Anoraks may enjoy the railway stuff, and America's big outdoors is sometimes seen to good effect.Can't Recommend A Purchase.

From the creative masterminds who probably brought you "Walker Texas Ranger" comes the action packed suspense movie extravaganza of last century!!Starring Rob Lowe, Mena Suvari, and a dozen other people I don't know, it's..... Atomic Train!! Watch as NTSB investigator John Seger tries to stop a freight train carrying a nuclear weapon race out of control through the scenic Rocky Mountains to the city of Denver!!See corny effects like CGI images of trains rushing past trees and mountains. Watch in amazement as actors come within mere inches of hitting each other in the face, and yet their victims' heads still fly backwards.Marvel at geniuses who park their helicoptors on the train tracks even when they know that there's a runaway train on the loose. Wonder in awe why professional school bus drivers with two dozen kids in tow would cross a railroad crossing without even looking, only to have the engine stall when they reach the middle of the intersection... what are the odds!!!!Be entertained by the intelligent conversations such as the one featured here...John's Daughter: Where's my Dad? John's Wife: I don't know. Last I heard, he was on the train when it derailed. John's Daughter: So... where is he?Brilliant!! And the catchy one-liners are even better. The comedy never stops!! But you'll have to see for yourself. This movie is a riveting two and a half hours long, but don't ask me how it ends... I shut it off with an hour left!!!!That's "Atomic Train," possibly airing on great networks like USA... check local listings for the next showing. If you miss it, you might cry!!

Somebody really forgot the basics of screen writing with this dog of a movie. Why oh why did Hollywood torment us with this crap?SPOILER ALERT! S P O I L E R S !!! SPOILER ALERT! S P O I L E R S !!!SPOILER ALERT! S P O I L E R S !!!I did like the shootout with the psycho militia MFs, but then again, that was the only, the ONLY believable part about this silly film.AND WHY OH WHY DID THE NICE BLACK MAN END UP BEING THE CRISPY SACRIFICE? The black guy really does get blown up or killed in EVERY FILM--and this film is just full of stereotypes and clichés! And WHY OH WHY did the stupid redneck yahoos end up being the idiots with the water bucket? And why oh why did nothing in this film make sense, including the stupid highway being blocked off? It's amateur night for sure, folks. Don't waste your time watching this dog. You should only watch this film if you like being bored out of your skull. Wait until the last bit of the movie when the bomb blows up if you like watching people flying in the air along with the glass and flames, but otherwise don't bother watching this--not even on cable!
