Goofs
The "Tirano Tunnel" between Italy and Switzerland depicted in the film does not exist. Although Tirano is a real place, and there is indeed a railway line leading over the route shown on the plotting map (through the Albula Pass), the line is a narrow-gauge one and the train depicted would not have been able to use it.

Pretty good thriller action about post-Soviet stuff.
Plot is kinda weak, especially about the former KGB guy (Chris Lee) on his motivation, other than _____.
Worth watching, could skip ahead 30 minutes.
As usual, there are several times wherein the good guys could have stopped the bad guys if they were "smarter."
For example: it's a train! Stop it!
Regardless, pretty good, and this is before the main actor as James Bond. Pretty good thriller action about post-Soviet stuff.

I think it plays off his character as Rem Steele, but I didn't watch that.
(I Liked $6M Man & similar) I mostly stopped watching series in the late 80s. I think it plays off his character as Rem Steele, but I didn't watch that.
