I didn't see any post about this movie and I'm not gonna give a few review of the movie. I just wanted to say this was a pretty good movie with some great acting and was a nice change of pace not being completely CGI, most of the action was believable.

One thing that bugged me though I will post lower down so you can avoid it and maybe you won't notice it. Here goes.....
























They went crazy with the pan and scan shots, where they have a shot of an actor or action scene and then rotate the camera around the person. It got to the point I thought it was going to make me sick.

It is funny that Chris Pine was in two movies with two very annoying camera effects this and star treks infamous lens flare.

Old railroad joke I heard years ago:

"You want to know who will ship an 800 pound gorilla overnight to Peoria by rail? Norfolk & Way man, Norfolk & Way."


It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.

I remember this from some History channel show. You don't need to be hauling anything dangerous if the accident also compromises an adjacent fuel pipeline.

My disappointment at my screentime aside, it was an okay movie. I think they got a little carried away with Bayian level explosions though. And the ending was rather anti-climatic after it became clear that the movie's goal was to have all the other methods of stopping the train fail as spectacularly as possible.


Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.

good luck D.B.B.

I forgot to mention something in the OP overall I'm a pretty level headed person and don't get angry at most things in life especially the unimportant stuff that happens all the time except....

I have some weird mental tick that makes me hulk rage is adults that talk during a movie. Most of the time this is not a problem but every once in awhile you get someone that has to share their opinion with everyone else in the theater (I get mad just thinking about it). This movie sadly had not one, not two but three of these mouth breathing morons.

I sit down and and behind me is two older guys so I thought they would be safe, well a few mins into the movie I realized I was very wrong, they must of worked on a railway or something similar cause they were nit picking every ******* detail about trains and how they worked. Hulk rage on, I turn completely around in my seat and stare at them for a full min until they get the hint, shut up or I want to be apart of the conversation.

On my left is two women and their dates, for the most part they said stuff pretty quietly but one lady couldn't help but yell at the scene all the time about stuff happening. The entire theater could hear her I'm sure. In front of me was a guy BY HIMSELF talking about the movie and giving opinions about everything happening as well (he wasn't yelling at least). I could feel like blood vessels in my brain about to pop. I said so the entire theater could hear, 'would you please shut the hell up' (not sure why I added please). Then I hear a few people laugh and some other people say 'thank god'.

I didn't hear another word the rest of the movie, I was so pleased with myself. I didn't pay that money to hear this idiots who think they are so witty give comments throughout the movie.

Oh and people that stop 50 feet from the next car at a red light and move up 10 feet, stop, move 10 more, stop, move 10 more, stop while the light is still red can eat a bowl of... well you know.
