Action. Thriller The story centers on an experienced train engineer (Denzel Washington) about to be laid off as part of company cutbacks and the newbie conductor (Chris Pine) hired to replace him. They find themselves in a race against time to stop an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train carrying enough combustible liquids and poisonous gas to wipe out a nearby city.

United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"Tony Scott's latest thriller turns out to be pure cinema in the classic sense of the term. It's a motion picture about motion, an action symphony that gives new meaning to the notion of a one-track mind"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Your head will spin. Your palms will sweat. Your nerves will fry. What more do you want from a train movie?"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"In terms of sheer craftsmanship, this is a superb film (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"The best blue collar action movie in who knows how long, this tense, narrowly focused thriller about a runaway freight train has a lean and pure simplicity to it that is satisfying in and of itself"	POS
