This is my favorite Drama movie, but I just don't feel it leads up to it's name. I mean, a train is only involved in the first half of the movie, the rest is pure drama. In that case, I feel this movie could have been named "Escape the Atomic City" or something. I'm a rail-fan myself, and this movie, railroad wise, disappointed me that in this 3-hour movie/TV miniseries, only about 45 minutes involved a runaway train before it derails. The acting of this movie is exceptional, but not top of the line. Rob Lowe was great, but other characters just made this look like a soap drama. Overall, I like the movie as my favorite disaster drama movie, but my suggestion for you is: if you like disaster drama, you'll like this, if you're a straight up action fan, you probably won't like this movie, due to the lack of action in which the trailer promised us.
