Atlas Shrugged Part I

Rating: 5
Genre: Adult Drama
Starring: Taylor Schilling, Grant Bowler, Paul Johansson, Michael Lerner

High speed freight train moving over ultra-modern bridge built with non-union labor on time. The rails are made of special steel and the train serves an important oil producer. All this is done in spite of obstacles put up by feckless egalitarian politicians. But the battle is not won yet, as we see at the movie's end.

Part II, whenever it appears will continue this war between hard-boiled capitalism and its opponents. This is an oversimplified allegory between good and evil. As you might suspect, the critics panned it, but at least it held my attention.
