Since it was the last movie directed by Tony Scott which I hadn't seen yet, I definitely had to see it at some point. I have to admit that I'm not really a big fan of action movies since most of them are rather preposterous and predictable. However, this one turned out to be quite enjoyable. Indeed, Tony Scott was one of the best action movie directors and it definitely showed on the screen. I mean, how could you make an exciting movie about such a static and inert thing such as a train?!? But Scott did pull it off and, for 90 minutes, I was actually wondering what would happen next. For the 5th time around, Denzel Washington was working again with this director and he delivered one of his usual performances, the righteous man under a terrible ordeal. To be honest, it could be nice if he did something else once a while but he does it so well, I won't blame him. Honestly, Washington and Pine didnโt have actually much to do and actually nothing much happened during the whole thing but, surprisingly, it was still quite entertaining and I think it had to do with the fact that they chose a realistic approach and it worked very well. Anyway, to conclude, even though the whole thing was nothing amazing, it was still a well made and entertaining action flick and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
