Um Túnel Para o Inferno

I haven't reviewed anything on here for quite awhile, but after having the misfortune to sit through this rubbish masquarading as entertainment I had to put forward my thoughts.

Normally, however bad something is, there is one redeeming part, whether it is an actor who was okay, a scene that was passable, an attractive cast member, or a general feelgood moment. Unfortunately, that isn't true here, as the film starts of atrociously, with a ridiculous shootout, which was so poor, I thought it was a practice, & two halfwits, otherwise known as the boys in blue chatting beside a school.

One of these idiots was Daniel Baldwin, who not only starred in this, but also actually Directed this garbage, & unlike his brothers cannot act for toffee. Not that he was on his own here, as everyone in it seemed to belong to the acting school of a trained chimp.

Luckily, certainly for me, I only watched an hour of this masterpiece, as the DVD wouldn't work, & was probably made by the same fools who produced this. So if you have nothing to do but watch paint dry do watch this as it is just as boring, & ideal for getting rid of unwanted guests.

Consider "I Know All" Action hero is lighting a cigarette in the darkness. While tries to hide/seek the Bad guys. (Probably to give a signal light to say here I am coming)

That's one of the 100 scenes you can laugh at. (I think the movie should in the Comedy category.)

Awful directing, awful script, Bad Acting, Cheap special effects. (They used a tunnel so they can hide there acting in darkness)

3 out of 10 (that also for making me laugh looking at those pathetic mistakes)

Unlike the majority of Canadian films that are made, this is one that freely gives signs that the movie is actually taking place in Canada. We get Canadian license plates, there is a "VIA" railway train seen, there is a character that speaks French, and there is a reference to a "Crown Attorney" (the Canadian equivalent of a District Attorney). However, there is a reference to the death penalty (which Canada hasn't had for decades), and a reference to the possibility of the F.B.I. (which are American) being called in. Oops!

Actually, this inability of the movie of firmly setting where it's actually taking place was one of the least of the problems I had with the movie. To begin with, it's cheap - VERY cheap. We get stuff like bullets being fired at cars and no bullet holes appearing, and when the train is sealed in the tunnel, we HEAR the explosions at each end of the tunnel but don't actually see the explosions or the piled wreckage at each end of the tunnel.

The next problem was with Baldwin's performance. He seems to be phoning it in for the most part - and phoning it in long distance. When he's not phoning it in, he acts so smarmy, so obnoxious, that you will actually root for the villains. But even worse than his performance is his direction. With the limited budget, he resorts to cost-cutting measures like frequent close-ups and stuff happening offscreen. Also, there is almost no action in the first hour of the movie, and the little action that's there and in the rest of the movie is directed by an unbelievable lack of passion and excitement. He seems to think that simply firing a gun is exciting.

If the disastrous end results had been unintentionally amusing, there might be a reason to see this movie. But except for the dispatch of the final bad guy, you'll watch the rest of the movie in silent agony. This movie actually provokes physical pain. Avoid!

Policeman Seale (Daniel Baldwin) loses his partner during a shootout. Geary (Kim Coates) is captured, but he is given a deal. He has the location of $90 millions in stolen diamonds. Seale barges his way into the recovery expedition.

First and foremost, this needs to explain the train in the most reasonable way. They have to expect an ambush to free Geary. The premise is silly without a scrap of logic. The actors are fine. Kim Coates is always a good crazy villain. Daniel Baldwin is fully entrenched in his B-movie acting mode. The others are fine B-movie actors. This is a B all the way through.

I have seen very many bad and ok-ish movies, but this one takes the cherry. Wow, a bad story, horrible acting, cheap "stunts". Not sure whether this was in Canada or the US as crown attorneys and VIA rail were there but so was a reference to the FBI. Only small good point was Janine Theriault who is originally from Yarmouth Nova Scotia, so a local gal. Seriously advise not to watch this unless you want the worst movie you have seen look good compared to this one.
