Hijack (1999)

Maybe it should just have been called the Ernie Hudsons show? Father and son feature heavily in this rather rudimental train hijack film that has plenty of derring-do but virtually no jeopardy at all. Jeff Fahey was never better than C-list, and here his proves his acting worth as the ATF agent who must thwart an evil plan to detonate a nuclear bomb on board the train killing Hudson Snr. ("Sen. Wilson") and a few million others. Adventures on a train can work well, but this doesn't really offer anything more than a vehicle for a few mediocre actors to deliver some set-piece action scenarios with daft dialogue for just over 90 minutes before an ending that, though after a bumpy road (or rail?), was just never in doubt. Nah, give it a miss. No likes yet
