That discerning viewer would be one hundred percent right. There is, the discerning viewer will note, simply no way that engine #777, a freight train loaded with dangerous substances, would be allowed to run at breakneck speeds, sans brakes and unmanned, across the mainland United States.
It's got everything, from high-speed chases and thrilling action sequences to Kevin Dunn, but in the end, it's all just too far from reality. The film stars Denzel Washington and Chris Pine, playing a pair of engineers with a shared enthusiasm for not watching runaway trains careen into population-dense regions of the midwest, and somehow isn't the Denzel movie that they decided to title Training Day. The largely forgotten, critically beloved 2010 thriller, directed by Top Gun's own Tony Scott, tells the story of a seemingly inauspicious locomotive with two special gifts: a "Little Engine That Could" attitude about chugging off unaccompanied at breakneck speeds, and a payload of highly toxic molten phenol. If you've logged into your streaming video account recently, there's a good chance that you've seen Unstoppable in the list of recommendations.
