film based on an Akira Kurosawa script) At a Pennsylvania rail yard some clueless workers let an unmanned train get loose and the thing is soon hurtling across the countryside Did we mention that it&s pulling a few cars& worth of highly toxic material? Did you doubt it would be? Meanwhile old-time engineer Denzel Washington and new conductor Chris Pine are making a routine run nearby--of course in the movies a routine run almost always turns into something wild This odd couple is the only hope for stopping the runaway while upper management dithers and an operations-room dispatcher (Rosario Dawson) spends most of the movie talking into her headset Scott is an unabashed manipulator and he yanks all the strings at his disposal for this whipped-up pageant song cues hype-filled reaction shots
stunts aplenty It&s all so aggressive it makes you wish the exciting story could be allowed to tell itself But the pulse does quicken if you can turn your mind off for a while And although it&s faint praise the movie is undeniably better than Pelham 123--Robert Horton
