You won't be disappointed!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Really entertained. Yeah I know they were going to stop the train, but it was exciting to watch and the storyline was believable. Good Sunday night entertainment before the working week starts again. I think some girls rated this film down hence the crap average. Beyond their realm of rom-coms. Good night.

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

Denzel Washington time and time again elevates the caliber of any film he touches. To employ the vernacular, "The guy really classes up the joint". His portrayal of Frank, a no-bullsh-- veteran Train Engineer in 2010's "Unstoppable", only serves to perpetuate this career-spanning capacity.Washington is equal parts compelling and believable in this "based on actual events" story as an ordinary man thrust headlong into extraordinarily volatile circumstances as he struggles to stop a runaway and pilotless train of tankers filled with explosively flammable cargo. Frank is somewhat jaded and cynical, yes, and with fair reason in light of the unseemly politics and the for-crap management he has wrestled with over his decades of rock solid service. It is consistently captivating to witness this fellow grapple with both the enormously stressful situation at hand and the incompetents who inhabit positions of leadership at his Railway Freight company. Chris Pine is just fine as the new kid Engineer, Will, working his first day on the job with Frank. However, for my money it isn't anywhere near the authentically impressive performance he generates in the Oscar-nominated movie of last year "Hell or High Water". In that role Pine is REALLY good, clearly far more mature and evolved as an actor. Here he merely more or less occupies a run-of-the-mill stock function.And props are due Rosario Dawson, as well, who is staggeringly beautiful as always in a helluva turn as a tough-a-- chick who bucks authority to do what is right rather than what most satisfies the corporate bottom line. Dawson's character of Connie is strong, smart, savvy and, again, aesthetically stunning."Unstoppable" is a notch or two above your standard Popcorn Thrill Ride flick. But it almost certainly would not have been even this good were it not for the inimitable contributions of the wondrous Washington. Movies are great.

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.
