In a hurry, one of them, Dewey (Ethan Suplee), decides to forego connecting the air hose between the locomotive and the rest of the half-milelong (1 km) train. Meanwhile, in Fuller, the yardmaster yells at a pair of hostlers who have been standing idle near a train to get it moved so the schoolchildren's excursion train can get out of the yard.
While he goes to punch in, the other older workers complain about being displaced by Colson, who they say got his job through family connections in the union. He goes to a group of older workers, with whom he has some barbed words over their age differences, and finds Barnes among them. Arriving at work, Colson, a conductor, gets his orders for the day and learns he will be working with engineer Frank Barnes (Denzel Washington), with whom he has never worked before.
He calls her but she refuses to even answer. Meanwhile, in the southern Pennsylvania town of Stanton, Will Colson (Chris Pine) gets up for work, stopping to surreptitiously watch his wife put their son on the school bus. In the Fuller yard in northern Pennsylvania, children arrive for a school field trip on rail safety. After panning across some idling diesel locomotives under the opening credits, the film begins with scenes at two rail yards in different regions of Pennsylvania run by the Allegheny and West Virginia Railroad (AWVR).Watch this if you like kidnapping movies.The synopsis below may give away important plot points. I would not rewatch this movie, only if someone would ask me to watch with them. The music is what I expect from these kind of movies a little bit dark and mysterious. The cast however is well picked, they were not the one to fail in my opinion, its the storyline and overal directing of this movie that had failed the cast. I didn't like it either that I saw some tiny movie mistakes (scene starts in the evening and the next shot is brigh day, too bad). I would have loved to see way more of Song Ji Ho's perspective instead of focussing on Ma Dong Seok (whom I love).
The story wanted to intertwine too badly, there were scenes that were out of place in my opinion. To be honest the storyline isn't new or refreshing, but if executed well, this could be another 'man from nowhere' but it failed. Damn, I wanted to like this movie so bad but sadly I didn't.
