Die Hard, Under Siege, Death Train, even Runaway Train, it has been done. Throw in a cute non-violent activist who falls for he wrong -- yes terrorist -- guy and you've got a mediocre movie. All the morally flawed characters are killed off and no one in the audience sheds a tear (perhaps when the helicopter is shot down, but I doubt it). Nice to see the hero kill off the bad guy, but not prevent the actual disaster from happening. That was maybe the only original twist (if you can speak of a twist) of the story. 'Seconds to Spare' fades away to a bad video game when comparing the Australian ACIA to the CTU unit in '24', 'Death Train' or even 'The Cassandra Crossing' Still, for a TV movie all ingredients were there and delivered. Nice predictable pastime, but that is all. Tolerable
