Everyone on the train to Venice is quite naturally wrapped up in their own concerns. Martin (Hugh Grant), a journalist, is determined to see to it that his book on the neo-Nazis gets into the right hands. Others are on their way to celebrate the Carnivale in Venice, a huge city-wide costume party. A more sinister passenger is found in the watchful man (Malcom McDowell) who never seems to converse or join with any of the others on the train. When a group of skinheads takes over the train, the passengers seem hardly to have noticed. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Made for television, A Father's Revenge stars Brian Dennehy as a high school basketball coach. When terrorists pull off a political kidnapping in West Germany, Dennehy's stewardess wife Joanna Cassidy is among the hostages. Fed up with the apparent foot-dragging of the authorities, Dennehy takes personal action in effecting Joanna's rescue. He hires Ron Silver's band of mercenaries, then heads to Germany to bring back his wife himself. Credibility is stretched to the limit at times, but the three stars are at their peak. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The understated farce of director-writer Lasse Aberg occupies center stage in this take-off on a Swiss ski vacation, with all the usual types on and off the slopes. This time the recalcitrant hero Helmer Ohlsson (Aberg) takes a disparate group along to Verbier, Switzerland for a little skiing. Herded around by the usual dictatorial tour guide, the group still manages to encounter enough fun and games to amuse everyone, while any confrontations inevitably lead to manipulative baddies getting their dues. Even the shy, bumbling Helmer seems to come out ahead in this sequel to the highly successful Package Tour -- he actually gets the woman he wants. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

- Lasse Aberg, Jon Skolmen, (more)
