I loved how director Tony Scott didn’t waste time grasping the viewer’s attention.  Ten minutes into this movie and you are knee deep in action that doesn’t cease until movie’s end.  Denzel Washington was comical yet strong.  Chris Pine was a great contrast against Denzel, as the younger, riskier, lion heart.  A great first date movie. Or take the wife. She’ll get the adrenaline rush of being in a theme park without having to watch you lose your lunch later.

Plot: Veteran rail worker Frank (Denzel Washington) is tasked with showing new trainee Will (Chris Pine) the ropes when they are forced into the ultimate assignment – chasing down a runaway train.
