I love the subtitle of this flick: 1 million tons of steel;
100,000 lives at stake; 100 minutes to impact.
Ann and I (well, me more than she) enjoyed this nonstop thrill ride that focuses (obviously) on a run-away train loaded with lethal chemicals. The script is based on a true story but I think that one needs to be able to bend reality a bit to take it all in. Even so, I loved the way that it portrayed very ordinary men who rose above the manipulations of bureaucratic executives and heroically risked all to save many.
If you enjoy intense adrenaline pumping disaster movies you will probably enjoy this one. I liked it and, on a scale of ten, I give it ★★★★★★★.
My Dad and I watched this a few weeks ago, and enjoyed it. It definitely delivers plenty of thrills, and like you said, it was neat to see two ordinary men rise above their circumstances to become extraordinary heroes.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with you: the subtitle is cool. :)
