I never saw this movie in the theatre. I have to wonder how many people did. Cause let’s face it, how many of us find trains very exciting? An action story about a runaway train never excited me personally. So I let my DVR record this one on cable and I was quite surprised, it’s an excellent movie!
I can’t think of anything to criticize in this one, accept that I’m personally not a fan of Denzel Washington. He seems to add his own personal phrases and the way he says things to every role he plays. His speach patterns are identical in every character he plays. And every character he plays in every movie seem the same to me, they just wear different cloths. He’s one of those well known actors that has stage presence and simply bring themselves to every role. In my mind, it’s not so much acting as it is being confident and famous. But his typical character’s aloof arraogant sarcastic attitude works well enough in this role.
This movie makes trains exciting, and holds your attention the whole way through. See it.
