I have just read a review from someone called 'Ted', and his review was almost as bad as the film.

If you want to go and watch the Brilliant Denzel Washington, deliver some mediocre lines, from a mediocre story, and a mediocre plot, then this is your movie.

I was NOT thrilled at any point in this movie, the plot and story is a-grade pap, a train, that won't stop. The film makers have crafted a 140 minute film from that, now that is a skill in itself, but not one that I would say deserves anything more than a shake of the hand.

The script is about as engaging as a Japanese anime cartoon (actually IN Japanese), the acting is decent, and the effects are all there, but there is just NO depth at all within the story.

I couldn't even care if the train crashed or not by the end, I just wanted the train to stop, which I knew it would, with Denzel at the end.

And on that note, I don't understand how they got the stars to star in this film, there must have been some decent pay packets and the only thing I can imagine that got this film to the screens was Tony Scott (Ridley's Brother in tow)...

This one, for me is a bit of a howler and 7.1 is very, very, very generous.

Oh by the way, watch out for the overused fast camera dolly shots, which are used in nearly every scene, they are horrid camera shots that are designed to give a sense of movement, but they don't, they just look crap and outdated.

Save your money and get it on DVD, which is where this film would be without the big names, straight to DVD.
