A self-confessed acrophobic, Denzel Washington reluctantly performed the stunts where actually he runs along the top of the speeding train. What made the stunt even more hazardous was the fact that the train was empty, thus causing the individual cars to rock more violently. Even though Washington was "wired" as a safety precaution, the leaps from car to car presented a potentially hazardous sequence (interview: Breakfast: Episode dated 26 November 2010. See more »

how on earth can this in any way be a 7.0-rated movie??? this is horrendously bad in every area, in fact so bad it can't even excel at being a bad movie. the only three good things about it are 1) it's denzel, 2) it's about trains (which I like) and 3) it wasn't longer. in olden days IMDb would've had this about a 5 at best and saved me from wasting my time with it.
the story may be true but too many elements are mind-numbingly stupid (sure, miles away in a city of 3/4 million people the guy's wife just happens to live at the focal point of disaster), the acting is awful, the script is nothing but a checklist of clichés and the filmwork is juvenile - shaking/zooming cameras are not a substitute for action, they just alert one to the fact that the director really doesn't know how to create genuinely intense interest.
this is unstoppably stupid and IMDb is not doing their longtime followers any service by letting smelly cr4p like this be rated so unjustifiably high.
