The second half has a very strong sense of shock and live atmosphere

As a work that deals with public crises, when I actually watched it, before entering No. 777 and getting out of control, the work was quite dull, and I almost had the feeling that I didn't want to watch it, but I entered the chase No. 777, and the docking between No. 1206 and No. 777 began. , the film reaches its climax. Immediately there is that tension of being on the scene of a crisis, and that's what I think is the most successful part of the film. But there are also several failures. In the face of such a sudden and high-level crisis, why did not take the fundamental solution of forced boarding control from the beginning? Instead, they set up obstacles on the track. Obviously, they were only set up to achieve the effect of the film. It was superfluous and hurt the rationality of the work. Regardless, the movie is worth watching.

Connie: I need you to rally every cell in that brain of yours. When you applied the independent, was the throttle in the forward position?
Dewey: Yeah, I had to get it moving, Connie!
Connie: In what position was the throttle set?
[Dewey is reluctant to say]
Connie: Damn it, Dewey, what position?
Dewey: Connie, the throttle was in notch 8, full power. Okay? It was 39 cars!

Connie: No, it's definitely under power. We're not sure of the exact speed yet.
Captain Allen: I thought all these trains had some sort of dead-man brake.
Connie: There's a wand the engineer has to hit periodically or the air brakes are automatically applied. Unfortunately, this train's were disconnected. Sir, I would gladly explain the particulars of locomotive operation to you if we had time, but right now I really need your assistance posting officers at all the mainline crossings.
Captain Allen: Uh, one question. How do you all plan to stop it?
Connie: We're working on it.
