Luke Sinclair (Dorian Harewood) is in a high security prison after killing the man who murdered his family. The decision is taken to transfer most of the prisoners to a new high tech prison and to transfer them by train in a special prison car. They escape and take over the train.

Really unconvincing laughable action thriller complete with cliched characters, gaping plot holes and dreadful script. The opening 15 minutes covering Sinclair's crime is entirely incidental and they could have better spent the money on a couple of decent effects. The sole reason to watch this is for Roy Scheider who gives this a small grain of credibility. Why Roy, why?

What film! I find throughout this picture that tension is cranked up by stealth. What acting! Drama was fully realised by face and walking. The expertise of act was fully realised by shark attack victim Roy Scheider through brilliant. My nerves surrounding trains were mechanically extrapolated through film- I was gripped by story, and my the action only helped prolong viewing time. Steel train was great name and reflected the true power of train, but Evasive Action is the facts because train cannot be embraced like goose. I think trains are not fully realised as story basis, though Under Siege thought train well and atomic train had battle train, but Evasive Action make steel train! I feel film was excellent and implore everyone who likes act, drama, film and train to watch.

Evasive Action (A pure 90's action movie name) is a very low-budget, low-quality & direct-to-the-Shelves of Blockbuster type Action film with a top notch cast of know-the-face actors & B-movie stars.

I liked this way more than Con Air.

Top of the list is the legendary Roy Scheider, one of my all-time favorite actors, this guy is a movie legend & has Starred in many brilliant movies over the course of his Career with Classic films such as Jaws, Jaws 2, The French Connection, The Seven-Ups, Last Embrace & Blue Thunder, just for an example. Scheider is an actor i just love to watch in anything & here in this trashy little B-movie he's still a fun watch. The 90's & early 2000's was Scheider's later-in-Career paycheck parts, where he probably done those cheap flicks simply for an easy paycheck but he's always decent on screen because he was a great actor R. I. P & i generally enjoy his 90's/2000's B-movie work such as Pluto's Run (With Gary Busey) & The Peacekeeper (With Dolph Lundgren) & The Doorway & Daybreak & Executive Target (With Michael Madsen) for example & their all pure 90's Low-budget B-movies but Scheider is always watchable. Here Scheider plays a crime boss, he's an evil villain, who is on his way to a new maximum security prison by train but escapes with a bunch of fellow criminals, all know-the-face characters (Don Swayze, Clint Howard & a few other's) & there's a good guy prisoner on their too who wants to stop them. The prisoner's take over the train & their's lots of Action & shootouts, it's all done very cheaply of course & the film is a cheaper version of CON AIR really but on a train or a secret sequel as it even mentions the events of Con Air. There's nothing great about this film but it is a fun little ride full of character actors & fun action. Dorian Harwood (Full Metal Jacket, Sudden Death, Pacific Hights) plays the good guy prisoner & main hero, named Luke Sinclair, a likeable character & even more so with the reason why he's locked-up, see his family was murdered & the piece of sh#t that did it got off (the "Justice System" doesn't work) so Luke shoots the scum outside the Court house & i totally agree with his vigilante actions.

Ed 'O Ross (Another 48hrs,Red Heat) stars as a prison warden & Ray Wise (Robocop,Jeepers Creepers 2) plays a Sheriff & Rance Howard (Terminal Velocity, The 'Burbs,Universal Soldier,Ticks ) & Keith Coogan (Adventures in Babysitting,Toy Soldiers) it's just nice seeing all these faces we know from many other movies pop up throughout this cheap 'n' cheesy film.

Evasive Action is a simple, cheap B-movie through & through & i like it, it's as simple as that.

This mess of movie is just a big Con Air Rip Off. The Story, The Names, The End. Like, Clint Howards character is named Hector "The Director" and his bald compare with Malkovich character the balded Cyrus "The Virus". Don't bother watch this movie unless you are like me fan of direct-to-video movies. And at last Don Swayze looks like a Ostrich in the movie.

How desperate must Roy Scheider have become to accept a role in this straight-to-video offering from Jerry P. Jacobs, who must be some incestuously close relative of Alan Smithee. It is sad indeed when a quality actor is forced to prostitute his art in this way...and I thought I'd seen it all with Raul Julia's swan-song as General Bison in the frivolous STREETFIGHTER!

Total CON AIR clone without the budget, stars, script or direction. I particularly liked the character played by Clint Howard.."Hector the Director!" Have producers no shame!

I saw this a few weeks ago after a friend lobbed in from South East Asia with a VHS copy. Stuck it for 40 minutes then put on CON AIR to finish it! Avoid.
