Quite often, the success of a film is measured by whether it meets expectations or not. Unstoppable is billed as being a thriller, but gives the impression that it's going to be a middle of the... more

    4 Stars Unstoppable. But Is It Unavoidable? 30/11/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent action and good acting all round

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Just not exactly mind-blowing

    We managed to catch an early viewing of this film at the cinema in town, and so on a Wednesday with a two-for-one deal the boyfriend and I got to see this film for just 5.95. Not a bad deal really. I’d seen the trailer a few times and had suggested it might be a nice film to see (although secretly I’m dying to see the latest Johnny Depp movie - for some reason boyfriend is less keen) and I do tend to like Denzel Washington films, so this was our choice. If train-spotting’s uncool, what about train-stopping? When incompetent hostler, Dewey decides to risk going without air brakes on the train ... more

    User recommends the product

    3 Stars Not Really Unstoppable 02/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good stunt work.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Chris Pine is wooden and the writing is limp.

    Will Colson starts his new job as a train conductor with little respect from his older colleagues. Teamed with veteran driver Frank, he sets out for an ordinary day hauling freight. But a rogue train soon puts paid to any thoughts of normality, as the unmanned locomotive speeds towards highly populated areas of Pennsylvania with a deadly cargo of hazardous chemicals. It destroys everything it hits as it gains speed. Frank has a solution; grabbing it by the tail and pulling it in the opposite direction. But first they have to catch it before it hurtles into a densely populated town. You always ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Above average action thriller

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some cliche

    Stayed on the tracksStar – Denzel WashingtonCertificate – 12ARun – Time – 98 minutesCountry – USA (2009)Genre – ActionRental – 99p@BlokbusterOscars – 1 nomination (sound)---------------------------------​---- As I have said before there are only two types of train films. The one where the train creaks and trundles along the wilderness for hundreds of miles where the main protagonists can wander around the train and jump on and off at their leisure and still get to the end of the film and the one where its full of terrorists or bad guys and the good guys not in control as it races towards the ... more

    3 Stars An amazing(ly average) action movie 09/10/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Some nail biting scenes, builds up towards the end, would look good on large screen

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Predictable, cheesy, not enough character development perhaps

    - Story - In Pennsylvania, USA, a large freight train containing hazardous materials accidentally becomes driverless and picks up speed, heading towards a large town, so an engineer and a conductor have to hastily chase it down via another train in a bid to hook them together and bring it under control before it derails and causes a massive explosion, spreading poisonous gasses for miles with devastating consequences. - Thoughts & Opinions - Somewhat ironically for me, I felt this movie started too quickly with little character development and the action was too far and few between in the ... more
