BrianSez's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

Who knew you could make a blood-pressure inducing action thriller out of a runaway train? After all – just how much could go wrong, or how many issues could there be with stopping it? That’s one of the most impressive thing about this movie. They milked the train thing for all it is worth: bungling engineer, innocent kids in danger, missed opportunities to stop, a failed derailment plot, and incredible heroics to finally stop the runaway beast. In the end, this movie was a ton of rolling fun, and most definitely never boring!

Acting - Great 4.0

Denzel Washington was a shoe-in for the seasoned engineer – doing what’s right despite plenty of reasons to not give a damn. Chris Pine was great as the rookie conductor that proves he’s a good guy after all. Rosario Dawson very good as hard edged and cool under pressure station manager.

Film - Great 4.0

Edge - Tame 1.5

Reality - Glib 1.7
