SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

cheryllawrence-41883 Unstoppable is a typical Tony Scott (RIP) film in that it provides what it promises- an hour and a half od solid entertainment. This one concerns a railroad engineer and a young conductor who must race against the clock to prevent an unmanned freight train from crashing into a city. Its fast paced and more importantly- well-paced. The effects are good and the train lashing towards its destination like a bullet does provide some sort of excitement. The actors are good- Denzel is always reliable and Chris Pine ably supports him. This is a good film that you can watch and forget and that is what its intentions are

jimandmarcus-81979 I assume that there had to be someone connected with railroads involved in this film, since someone at least had to run the engines. But you'd never know it. Nothing they said or did bore any relation to the reality of railroading. But I'll be fair, since I am an ex-railroad employee and someone who has loved and studied railroading all my life. So let's keep the mistakes to what the average Joe should question. Denzel Washington is supposedly a 20 plus year employee of the railroad. But he has to ask how far Stanton is?? When he would have run this route hundreds of times? Why would they have to drop a man from a helicopter when if he had been on Washington's engine he could have just stepped across when they coupled to it? I know a lot of this was to add drama and action, but at least keep it close to being believable. It might be different if this was a sci-fi fantasy but this was supposed to imitate real life. Embarrassed for Denzel taking part in this.

Arahones The plot is not even that bad, it's a simple low budget Hollywood movie, and probably entertaining enough for it's audience. But where this movie really fails is the most awful camera work in history of movies. Every single shot is either a shaky cam, some quick 'zoom adjust' shot or the godawful camera on that rail. It is supposed to give you the feel of motion, but the dumb camera rail is in 99% of all the shots. Even in the office shots are done with this setup. Aargh, Tony Scott, for the love of god, why? As if you are watching a movie from a marry-go-round. Just, plain, awful.. A 3 out of 10 is generous, out of respect for the actors.

genxor This is my first review so go easy on me. BTW it contains spoilers! This movie was alright, lots of action and lots of train. Lots of Denzel looking like he's the coolest dude around - as he does. The young guy in the train with him was pretty good too, like he could be in other action movies no problem. It even has the guy from Mallrats who couldn't see the sailboat. He lost a lot of weight which is good for him and his cardiovascular system.I really enjoyed it and despite what others say about the camera work I didn't find it too jarring. Was a great way to shoot an action film.The big BIG problem I have though is the title. There's a huge discrepancy there. Why? Because the train stops. It isn't unstoppable if it stops - that makes it stoppable.
