It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

OR, Murphy's Law meets Too Many Cooks OK, here's how the story writing conference went for this film: Right! We're here to discuss ideas for a train disaster film. Any ideas? Freight train instead of passenger train with dangerous chemicals. Like it. Anything else? A nuclear weapon instead of chemicals. Hmm. How about nuclear weapon AND chemicals? Much better. Shoddy maintenance takes out the brakes and train careers toward city. Good. Any cities with 20 miles of track heading downhill into the centre? Tracey, check into that will you. Anything else? Chasing train that tries to stop the train but fails. Yes! Chasing train causes train to keep going when it could have stopped. Yes! Yes! And so on, and on, and on.After about a month the conference finishes and EVERYTHING is in the film, except the kitchen sink. Anything anyone could think about got included in this film. Doctors, police, firemen, military, heroes, disasters, fires, explosions, big trains with massive inertia, annoying kids (are kids always annoying?), useless women, helicopters, guns, lots of aimless running around.Too many cooks involved in this film.Then they had the script writing conference where they had to stitch all ideas together into a plot: Smuggle the nuclear weapon on board the train to save money. I'm sure that happens every day. Shoddy maintenance that nobody notices takes out the train's brakes. Daily occurrence in my neck of the woods. Drop the hero onto the train using a helicopter. Everybody does that in film these days, just look at James Bond. (That one has to go OK.) People fall over at the worst times and damage their legs. Happens to me every time I take the subway. Have the coupling on the chasing train fail, just because. Those things never work. Have something go right, like stopping the train, and then screw it up, like the chasing train suddenly hitting it with an almighty thwack that doesn't derail anything. Train derailments never happen in real life, no matter what hits the train. Derail the train. Nope, can't do that in case the nuclear weapon explodes. Hah! Fooled you. Just when you thought something was going to go right.And so it went. If anything could go wrong in this film it did: water meets sodium (boom), dangerous chemicals go on fire for no good reason, car accidents, bike accidents, helicopter accidents, mobile phones suddenly don't work, cars run out of petrol, nobody remembers to take a gun but everyone has a torch, accident blocks only road out of town.There's at least 3 films in this one presentation: train disaster movie, dangerous chemical spill disaster movie, massive explosion disaster movie. Thankfully, the film moves from one film to the next linearly so we're not troubled with having to keep track of who's in which movie. But if does get very exhausting after a while, just from the sheer onslaught of one disaster after another.However, there are a few redeeming moments. There's an explosion sequence that I thought was very well done for such a low budget film. And there's a couple of times where the whiny kids almost get it. (Sadly they survived, but I did get my hopes up for a second.) And there's a couple of black men who get to be heroes, instead of the usual chisel-jawed white men. (Go back to disaster movies of the 1970's and 1980's and try to spot a non-white hero.) Overall, there's just too much thrown into this film. If only they'd taken one idea and made a 90 minute movie, then I'd have had a much better experience watching it. And then they could have made the other two films at a later date.As it is, stock up on the drinks and chips and hunker down for a LONG disaster unfolding before your quickly tiring eyes.

*Edit: Why did I gave it a 7? 4 is good enough.* Warning contains spoilers!Uh a few things straight i have the two our version so some things might not come over to your version if u have the four hour version. And this is what I think so you can have different minds than me Well I saw the film today and I must say I thought it was worse the only few things I didn't like is 1 the story could have been better if the bomb was placed by terrorists 2 Well the beginning was a bit rushed! the train starts riding one sec and loses it's brakes the other sec. I think also that the runaway itself was a bit rushed too! 3The end was way too long, The name of the movie was Atomic Train but almost 30 minutes before the movie ends the bomb already explodes and 30 boring minutes join in without any thing about the atomic train is self!.What I would have done 1Make the story interesting and more realistic by replacing that bomb with poison's chemicals or something like that 2Wel make the runaway scene a bit longer or the movie a bit shorter 1:30 hour is enough I think 3 uh And add a damn tank car! A chemical train without tank cars? never saw before! 4uh write a better script for sure. 5The character, make them interesting. I mean call one person you actually liked?? The people in the caboose? Nope, We don't know a thing about them! they don't seem to help at all! + I didn't care when tucker died! (Which is the worst thing that happens in a movie, don't care over a good guys death!)

I have to agree with "lame, lame lame..., etal. 1. A major air leak would put the train into emergency and slow it to a stop. 2. Why would an NTSB investigator even board the train? Its not exactly like he possesses any special skills to mitigate the problem. Why not an accountant or journalist...it would make as much sense. 3. It was amazing how the railroad crew materialized immediately on site (in the middle of the Rockie Mountains) when the decision to install a derailer was made. 4. Finally, where is there 300+ miles of steep, continuous downgrade leading into Denver, Colorado...they would of had to be coming from the moon.

I just watched this movie on USA. I'd always caught the very end of it, but never seen the whole thing. Now I'm sorry to say that I have. While I don't know much about the atomic end, I was a chemistry major in college. First of all, sodium is a metal, not a liquid. There is no way it could "leak" out of a barrel. The only thing leaking would be mineral oil with is what sodium is stored in. Secondly, while it does react violently with water, I cannot imagine it reacting with a huge fireball. I still have no idea how the movie gets from this point to the end because I was so disgusted with the lack of research into simple chemical reactions that I changed the channel.
