Unstoppable (2010)

To say this movie is about generations getting along might be a bit of a stretch. There is also a little train action too. But that is a major theme. Old school methods clashing with young gun mentality.

Denzel Washington, who used to be one of the young gun guys now settles in nicely in the old school role. Chris Pine, who has not yet been type-cast as the new Capt. Kirk, plays the rookie fresh out of training. Their two worlds collide and in the process a train smashes a bunch of stuff too. The third person in the new dynamic trio is played convincingly by Rosario Dawson.

On the movie gets rolling, he action does not stop (pun intended) until the end. Along the way there is a little humor and a bunch of drama. Since we pretty much know how things end I can't really spoil anything for you. As usual in this case you just can't be sure of the how.

Watch this movie with someone who likes trains.
