Watch this new film, starring Denzel Washington (Training Day) and Chris Pine (Star Trek, 2009). Two railway operators – one a veteran engineer and one a rookie conductor – decide to stop a runaway train from colliding into a town by chasing it in another locomotive -driven in reverse. The train is armed with carriages that are filled with phenol, or some toxic and volatile material. It is a race against time, odds, information delivery, and poor leadership (under crisis situation).
Once again, Denzel is Da Man! His acting is A1. Watching him is bliss. Pine complements him very well. They could have played up the role of rail controller, Rosario Dawson. Tony Scott directs effectively this fast-paced film; rarely a dull moment. My easy scale ranking is 4/5 stars. Watch it!

Less than two weeks to Busselton – and distractions from new Cairns Challenge is emerging. The last two weeks during tapering is critical and crucial to triathlon success. I suspect my sprained wrist includes a hairline fracture; it is manageable for now. Time to prepare more intensively my race-gear. More biking and run/swim speed work. Thinking about the ultra-marathon three weeks after Busso. Decisions, decisions!
