Saw this last night--a good story-well acted, what else would you expect from Denzel--but the whole cast was good as well-and some excellent camera work and taut direction. It would be hard for any one not to enjoy this film

I saw this last weekend and was pleasantly surprised with how much I genuinely enjoyed it, as my main motivation for seeing it was getting to stare at Chris Pine for a couple of hours! ;)

I saw this last night at the Odeon MetroCentre - thought I wasn't going to get there at one point due to the strong winds and heavy rain, which led to a crash on the A1, and the resulting chaos which ensued. But, I made it, went into the wrong screen at first, and sat down to see Burke and Hare, got up and found the right place. Phew!

I loved it. It was quite exhilarating in places, and edge of the seat stuff. Good performances from Denzil Washington and Chris Pine, ably supported by a strong cast. I enjoyed reading what happerned to the main characters afterwards - found one or two amusing.

I'll be recommending this to friends - 8.5/10 from me.

Saw this film earlier this week, like most people said it's really enjoyable. I had the feeling Tony Scott was trying to reboot the Under Siege/Speed genre. The film looked really gritty, kind of like the Casino Royale reboot of the James Bond Franchise. Only problem was the ending, which they could have used as a solution at the beginning (but then we wouldn't have a film, would we? :D ) 7.5/10

Wow absolutely loved the film from start to finish. Saw this in a 1/4 full cinema at Southampton and when they managed to stop the train you could feel the relief in the room. Overall BRILLIANT. o/ :D o/

    They had to grease the track with the bodies of 1,000 new born babies :shifty: nothing less would work. :bwl: They had to call in the Russian army to shoot the mothers who protested. 8O It was grizzly work. :blink:
