I'll admit there's a lot wrong with the film craft, the writing, the editing, the direction and the acting, but I'm a train buff and I thoroughly enjoyed "587 the Great Train Robbery" (which is the title on the excellent Sterling DVD). Even more importantly, the movie had something that is often lacking from movies these days: It had HEART! And it is indeed "an adventure the whole family will enjoy" as the DVD promises. I'll agree that kids and train buffs like me are not too finicky about the finer points of acting, editing and film-making. I'll also admit that from a professional point of view, there were at least three or four things that were way, way wrong, and with an investment of say, an additional half a million dollars or so, they could have been put right. But you can't judge a "B" movie by the standards you would expect of an "A".
