Will is the rookie conductor that is placed under the veterans Frank's wing. Your then introduced to Will, played by Chris Pine, and Frank, played by Denzel Washington. Before any of the main characters are brought into the story the antagonist and therefore the action get underway. The film's opening credits starts with how the train was lost and runs away, so right off the bat you know that it's not going to be a dull film. How many people know about and use trains regularly? Then take that and turn into one of the most suspenseful, entertaining films of the year culminates into a really good time. First off, I gotta five Tony Scott credit for making a film about trains, that in itself is pretty interesting. It follows a runaway train that occurred in Pennsylvania and the two men that try to stop it. Unstoppable never tries to be anything more than it is. But for the most part, "So Late So Soon" is a moving and thoughtful meditation on the inevitability of aging and mortality and the unstoppable lure of the creative process.Simple, Thrilling, and Very Entertaining. “So Late So Soon” does not exactly reinvent the wheel in terms of documentary filmmaking, and I suspect some might find it simply too depressing to sit through. We also understand more how their relationship, for all the recent difficulties, has continued to endure. This contrast might seem a bit on the crashingly obvious side, I suppose, but by showing us this material, we get a better sense of how they developed into the people that we see in the current-day footage. Hymanson also weaves in old television interviews and films of the two in their youth that allows us to see them in their prime. This gives the film an almost voyeuristic quality that is sometimes painful to watch, especially in the scenes in which the frustrations of age, not to mention the various problems regarding the state of their cozy-but-dilapidated home, inspire full-blown arguments that end in long and uncomfortable silences. Knowing that he has a couple of undeniably fascinating characters at the center of his movie, Hymanson is content to hang back, filmmaking-wise, and simply let them be themselves. Don does not understand why she continues to push herself, Jackie becomes frustrated by the way that he seems to have just given in and as a result, a schism begins to grow between them that only frustrates the situation even further. As a cruel irony, much of Jackie’s work over the years has used the passage of time and impermanence as a theme and now she is experiencing it for herself first hand. For Jackie, however, the transition is far more difficult-a sculptor and photographer who also taught art to children for decades, she struggles mightily with the fact that while her creative process and energies are still firing on all cylinders, she no longer has the energy that she once possessed. Although a prominent artist in his younger years-one of his most famous creations being a papier-mâché rhinoceros that is still standing-he has now become more of a homebody whose lifestyle is not particularly active. For Don, this adjustment is relatively easy.
