Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is inspired by the "Crazy Eights" unmanned train incident in 2001. The train, led by CSX Transportation SD40-2 #8888, left its Walbridge, Ohio rail yard and began a 66-mile journey through northwest Ohio with no one at the controls, after the engineer got out of the originally slow-moving train to correctly line a switch, mistakenly believing he had properly set the train's dynamic braking system, just as his counterpart in the movie did. Two of the real train's tank cars also contained thousands of gallons of molten phenol, similar to the fictional train in the film.
- GoofsPortable derails are used and the description of the process by which they work is technically accurate but they were not installed correctly. The "lifting" mechanism should be on the inside of the rail (where the flange of the wheel is), not on the outside as shown in the movie.
- Quotes
Oscar Galvin: I am not jeopardizing more personnel and more property just because some engineer wants to play *hero*! End of discussion! That train is our property. It's our decision! Now you stop your pursuit or I will fire you!
Frank: [chuckles] Fire... You already did.
Oscar Galvin: Already did what?
Frank: You've already fired me. I received my 90-day notice in the mail... 72 days ago. Forced early retirement, half benefits.
Oscar Galvin: So you're gonna risk your life for us with three weeks left.
Frank: Not for you. I'm not doing it for you.

The farewell of the brilliant director Tony Scott is a thriller with non- stop action inspired in a true event in Ohio. The screenplay is engaging and the dramatization is adequate to the story. The great cast with Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson completes this excellent entertainment. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Incontrolável" ("Uncontrollable")
