Review of Unstoppable (2010) by Beelzie14 — 24 Aug 2011

I'll admit I know less about the railways and railroading than Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock combined! So whether this was factually or technically accurate in reflecting the true nuances of railroading, I will never know and neither do I give a hoot. And it is probably for those reasons that I enjoyed this film.

Denzel was his usual wily, knowledgeable character who plays the underdog who comes out smelling like champagne and roses.

Chris Pine is proving himself to be an actor of class who brings a believable feel to his character.

Beyond the obligatory America-centric fist pumping and show of corporate negligence, the film rolls on at a consistently fast pace with some novel ideas.

This is no Speed - because it is better due to credible actors keeping this "on track" and making it a very enjoyable few hours of entertainment.
