Death, Deceit & Destiny Aboard the Orient Express (2001)

"Death, Deceit & Destiny Aboard the Orient Express" (USA/Can/Bulgaria 2001)

Watched that two days ago and was pleased to see Richard Grieco in a really bad movie and acting like a "Blödmann" or "Knallcharge" (german for blockhead/idiot).

Christoph Waltz as a terrorist leader has gained control over the Orient Express and his inmates (very rich businessmen, their wifes and a Rockstar/Grieco).

This movie is pure nonsense,the plot & the acting are bad, very bad, -
the dialogues are unbelievable:

The american businessmen says to his wife that he has hunger and that he wants the dinner immediately and, man, she replies:

"You are on a diet and you shouldn´t eat that european junk food"

Junk food in the Orient Express???
"European Junk Food" ??? Something´s wrong here, isn´t it?

And there are so many other crappy things hapening in that flick that it is good fun to watch it.

Anyone seen this mess?

Uhhh...like that is a first for him?

Sorry but what do you mean? (don´t understand that ´cause German)

It is not the first time Richard Grieco has been in a bad movie and/or acted like an idiot.  (:

Ok thanks.

I agree and I can´t remember a good movie with him in it.

Did he play in series - he´s well known, why?

[Menard]

He was in the TV series 21 JUMPSTREET which ran on the fox network. That series also starred Johnny Depp.

He's probably more popular because he looks good, but he is also a decent actor with a poor choice in roles.

I did enjoy the series 21 JUMPSTREET when it was on, but that has been probably like a decade (ten years) since it has been on.

Ah, but don't forget the awesome series he was in after Jumpstreet, called "Booker". It might have lasted 5 or 6 shows. My first wife was hot for him (probably because of that femine look he has) so she had to watch that show. Shame it was cancelled...
