I probably the last one to review this movie, but I have to say it's a really good movie. So unlike some reviewers I will not be placing spoilers in this review, but even if I did it would not mess the movie up one bit, because this is the kind of movie you can watch over and over again and never get tied of seeing it, yes the movie is that good. To begin the movie is based on true events, and right now your great another "Lifetime Movie", but that is not the case here. The movie starts off slow and doesn't look like much, but that is just to introduce the main characters and lead you into the action, which is how it happened in real life Denzel Washington and Chris Pine did an amazing job in their roles as two railroad employees, lets just say that if they weren't actors they would probably be working for a railroad company, because their acting was that good really believable. The other thing I liked about this movie where the camera angles every shot was framed perfectly to capture what was going on in the whole shot. The lighting just right in every shot as well, like when they were inside train's cab it wasn't over lit or under lit, it just looked as if they were in a real train, which they probably were, but just on a sound stage or some place of the sort. The script was well written, so the dialogue really allowed you to followed the movie even if you weren't watching it directly, I don't know how anyone could just listen to this movie, because I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for a minute. This movie will have you on the edge of your seat especially during the middle of the movie where from then on it's non-stop action until the end. There is only one thing wrong with the movie and that is the song they chose to close the movie out which is a song called "Work", I think Ozzy Osborne's "Crazy Train" would've been a better pick to close the movie out with, because I have no idea how shaking their "thang(ass) like a donkey or swinging from a pole like a monkey" would've helped in the situation at all, but that's just my opinion leave me a comment with your thoughts on the movie.
My Rating for the movie
I have to give this movie a 9 out of 10 for not doing complete research on how a real life train company would've handled the situation, but other than that the movie is great and a must see. To the director Tony Scott next time you do a movie about anything train related talk to someone who works CSX in the "front office" and ask them how they would handle a situation like that, because most train companies will not release the names of employees involved until after their internal investigation was completed.
