Director: Tony Scott
Rating: 4/5
Denzel Washington reunites with Tony Scott, in what is their fifth collaboration, for action movie Unstoppable.
A freight train is carrying a dangerous cargo of combustible liquids and poisonous gas.
When its engineer sets the engine on full throttle and leaves the cab and does not return, the train proceeds unmanned, creating a potential disaster.
Two men, Frank Barnes and Will Colson, are sent by the yardmaster to do the near impossible--board the runaway train and stop it before it is too late.
Unstoppable delivers everything that we have come to expect from this genre of movie and yet it really is a great watch.
It's a simple premise and yet Scott has produced a movie that is fast paced, high octane, thrilling as well as having two charismatic leads that you can't help but like.
Washington and Pine are excellent together as the old timer showing the new guy the ropes. But are carrying guilt for their personal lives but put their differences aside and risk their lives to save others.
The pair banter well and you can't help but like them and will them on to succeed in the task that has been laid before them.
Yes ok so it is predictable from start to finish but that doesn't stop this movie from being a rip-roaring ride.
Scott builds the tension beautifully and never lets up the past - the movie is a very swift ninety eight minutes.
Unstoppable grabs out attention from the word go and holds our attention right until the credits roll.
A great action movie that is well worth a watch.
Unstoppable is out on DVD & Blu-Ray now.
