Scorecard
Cinematography: B
Visual Effects: B
Sound/Score: C+
Story: B
Acting: B
Food to Watch With: Maybe a Subway sandwich cause it is long, like a train.
Plot Synopsis: Runaway train threatens a town in Penn. Railway workers step in to save the day.
Review: This movie was pretty simple for a change, not a lot of ins and outs, just a runaway train that needs some stopping. For the train lover in me it was fun to see so many of them and Tony Scott does a good job letting you feel the weight and size of the trains (although after the 50th Bruckheimer fly-by I was getting a little tired of them) There was a little bit of a political statement about evil corporate greed, but mostly the movie just focused on the heroics of two men that saw what needed to be done and just did it. It’s not a long movie so you don’t have to spend a lot of time planning to watch it and it's not too hard hitting so your wife might even want to watch it with you.
Life Lessons: Railroad accidents can be avoided if you're not a fat guy. (watch the movie, you’ll see what I mean).
Summary: Good strong movie, not the greatest, but certainly a story about heroes.
Would I Watch This Again: Yep, If I’m in the mood for something short.
