Rich Bonaduce reviews “Unstoppable”
Rich’s Quickie: A fun, no-brainer.
Don’t Stop: This is a straight-up, no holds barred an uncomplicated action flick, that has the benefit of being “inspired by true events”. Denzel Washington knows how to deliver a line, and seems very comfortable playing the kind of guy who is so relatable and heroic at the same time. The ample action sequences are well done, turning something as benign as a train into a malevolent force – and solid protagonist.
Cease! Unfortunately, Chris Pine is left playing second fiddle to either Washington or the train itself. The outcome is never truly in doubt, and even though it wraps itself up a bit neatly, it’s so easy an action flick to watch I doubt anyone will complain.
Movie Grade: B-
Director: Tony Scott
Writers: Mark Bomback
Rated PG-13 for sequences of action and peril, and some language.
