Who knew that Unstoppable would be sensational? Talk about well-kept- and welcome-surprises. Tony Scott’s latest thriller turns out to be pure cinema in the classic sense of the term. It’s a motion picture about motion, an action symphony that gives new meaning to the notion of a one-track mind. Read full review

The thrill of Tony Scott’s Unstoppable, in which a runaway freight train hurtles through rural – and toward not-so-rural – Pennsylvania, is that its setup asks us to believe only in human ineptitude. Read full review

Screenwriter Mark Bomback doesn’t do much with the backstory scenes linking Pine and Washington to their worried families, but the main story is gripping, flawlessly paced, and nicely grounded in operational detail. Read full review

Unstoppable is edited for maximum impact without showboating. The central situation sustains the drama and the way it’s filmed, and when that situation is over, so’s the movie. More films should be this enjoyably functional. Read full review

Tony Scott almost wins us over with this fun thrill ride. Read full review

It’s manic and wearyingly predictable, and as soon as it begins, you know exactly how it’s going to end: with a hard, fast crash (and the requisite yakkety epilogue). Read full review

Denzel is lower key until the role calls for action. Every character is perfectly cast and the movie is well edited to avoid the usual long soapy scenes. The lead character is definitely the train, but I bet that was so when a similar incident happened. It was edge of the seat action. Held… Expand

This is a movie I walked in thinking hey, good actors, good director, and a ok plot. Half way into the film I was like who I am kidding, this is the BEST plot ever. It had way better action scenes than I expected, plus It had amazing acting from Denzel and the young Chris Pine. It will leave… Expand

I was surprised that this film was actually good. The first 5 or 10 minutes for me was pretty boring but the rest was really awesome. The acting of the most characters were really good (the acting of the daughters and Darcy wasn’t that good). This is probably the best train-disaster film in… Expand

Unstoppable is a pretty good movie.

The first half is slow and boring but in the second half it was great.

There were actually a few little jokes in there as well.

Great action movie.

Unstoppable is unstoppable. Beware… Unstoppable can be stopped due to several flaws from a ridiculous amount of scenes this movie has and it’s not pretty at all.

I seen this movie in the cinema expecting a Thrill ride, what I got was Speed 4 (The Father Ted Episode Speed 3 was more exciting than this movie), but only even more predictable, boring, stale… if not for the acting… I would have filed a petition to metacritic attempting to get them to… Expand
