Review of Detonator

Detonator (1993 TV Movie)
8/10
UNACO are on a mission to stop a training carrying nuclear weapons

I loved reading the UNACO books ( based on the Alistair Maclean storylines), and found Death Train a riveting read, and though this adaptation of the aforementioned thriller doesn't follow the book's plot closely, it is still enjoyable and has some nail biting action sequences. The characters are developed well, especially the ones played by future ( two years more) 007 Pierce Brosnan, Patrick Stewart, Christopher Lee, Ted Levine and Alexander Paul. The train sequences are particularly eye-catching, the European look of the railroads is interesting ( ok, I am a bit of trainspotter). It does have that typical TV movie look, well it is one, and music can be robotic, but it delivers in suspense and action.
