Typically, real train buffs will probably pick a few holes this Hollywood portrayal of a real life US railroad runaway train incident. However, the movie is skillfully filmed and the acting is good, too. The film manages to build up a huge sense of impending disaster, and the superb aerial photography adds to this feeling. I wont spoil the ending, but it was surprisingly restrained for a Hollywoodised story. I viewed the film knowing what some other railroad fans had said about it.....and formed my own opinion. I enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing again, this time in Blu-ray. The four stars is actually 4.5 stars, I my opinion. Cheers Bazza
Unstoppable is a well-oiled machine a white-knuckle, rollercoaster ride. Scotts high production values plus a fast-moving story and high-calibre performances from the lead trio of stars make Unstoppable well worth pencilling into your movie watching timetable.
