| 'Unstoppable' is really a wild ride,デュベティカ ダウンジャケット
The last time action director Tony Scott centered on rail transportation,ダウンジャケットメンズ, the end result was the botched subway thriller "The Taking of Pelham 123." In "Unstoppable," he's back on the right track and running at full throttle. This is a terrific,Duvetica Outlet Shop, sweaty,デュベティカ 店舗, men-on-a-mission adventure, with heroic blue-collar railwaymen,ダウンジャケットduvetica, pencil-pushing bureaucrats and hotheads in the head office battling to halt an unmanned runaway train. It's based on a real event: in 2001 a 47-car CSX train with a cargo of toxic chemicals -- but no engineer in the locomotive -- careened across three counties in Ohio before it was brought under control,デュベティカアウトレット. "Unstoppable" ups the ante with spectacular car wrecks, a derailment and helicopter stunts, yet it's filmed having a great a feeling of authenticity. Scott's film is a good blend of crowd-pleasing hokum and tense realism. The vibrations and noise and chaos from the collisions would be the real McCoy. Scott mostly avoided computer-generated effects in favor of shooting real vehicular carnage. The movie starts small, by having an engineer jumping out of his cab to throw a switch as Engine 777 coasts with the rail yard. When he stumbles trying to re-enter the locomotive, his fellow engineers have a horse laugh. It's embarrassing for the hapless driver,デュベティカ 激安, however the train's safety devices will kick in and bring 777 to some halt. Only they don't. Through a perfect alignment of human and mechanical failures,デュベティカダウンジャケット, the train jogs across northern Pennsylvania, then races,デュベチカ専売店, then rockets. Whenever a fathead executive pooh-poohs the seriousness of the situation,discount Men And Women Parajumpers Jackets Outlet On Sale 2013, dispatcher Rosario Dawson bellows, "It's not a train; it's a missile the size of the Chrysler Building!" Like last summer's "Unleash the Kraken," this can be a movie quote destined for immortality like a singles bar pickup line. Aside from a couple of shameless sequences using a trainload full of schoolchildren and a horse trailer stuck about the tracks to generate cheap suspense,デュベティカ専売店, "Unstoppable" is a solid, believable story. The plot's few stumbles are balanced through the scope and skill of the whole thing. Denzel Washington and Chris Pine are solid as ticked-off railroad men. Washington is being pushed into early retirement so that younger,デュベチカ専売店, cheaper conductors like the inexperienced Pine may take over. They don't much like one another,ダウンジャケットメンズ, but when their milk run puts them near the cannonballing 777, they ride on face destiny. The actors are perfect at creating empathy for what might have been a few stock working stiffs. As always,ダウンジャケットduvetica, Washington is Mr. Composure, cool when confronted with impending catastrophe. What the heck, his girls are grown,デュベティカアウトレット, his wife is gone and now his career is over. His eerie got-nothing-to-lose calm freaks out greenhorn Pine, who had been sort of hoping to live long enough to reconcile together with his own estranged wife. The two perform a bit of manly bonding as they put themselves in danger. Hashing out their personal subplots doesn't give the story scope; it is the weakest component of a taut yarn. The film can't stay lost in the weeds for long,デュベチカ専売店, though; there's a zillion gallons of chemical doom hurtling toward Dead Man's Curve on sparking,デュベティカアウトレット, squealing steel wheels. Pine and Washington both get big hero moments filmed with kinesthetic impact; when they braced to leap between boxcars I felt the tendons in my legs tighten. Combined with the drama and visual excitement,デュベティカダウンジャケット, there's an undercurrent of working-class resentment percolating with the film. The villain of the tale may be the train,デュベティカレディースダウンジャケット, a destructive, unfeeling beast that becomes just as much a character because the shark in "Jaws." However the secondary theif is the incompetent executive overseeing the crisis. He sees the emergency more as a matter of potential stock devaluation than a disaster within the making. Next to halting the train, we want to see him get his comeuppance,デュベチカ専売店, and Scott delivers. 相关的主题文章： http://manarafree.com/showthread.php?143813-2012-nfl-uniform-outlets&p=234837#post234837 http://forum.bj69.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=729285 http://www.alnta.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=854136 http://www.nicojoey.com/dz25/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3770238 http://www.idsmed.com/drupal6/node/184#comment-333477 http://www.themepark.cn/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2640321&extra= http://jukucho.dyndns.biz/cgi-bin/joyful/joyful.cgi http://jlg.0594wz.com/ http://bbs.petroren.com/portal.php/ http://221.226.62.36:8888/upload/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4595853 http://abcd588.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=212471 http://ww.qyx888.com/ http://getwashboardabs.com/node/1#comment-4165557 http://equestriancenter.zaphoyd.net/sales/cheap-uggs-outlet-trading-impressive?page=8#comment-81968 http://www.ariceptjga.fora.pl/forum-testowe,1/you-can-easily-provide-you-with-on-the-market-now,9068.html#9130 |
