Unstoppable Review

Rating: 1/5

Tony and Ridley Scott are brothers, directors, and complete opposites. Ridley uses an excess of slow-motion, swords, and Russel Crowe, but can tell a story well and has a good track record. Tony uses an excess of explosions, vengeance, and cannot tell a story without action, and has an ok track record. If you don't get what I'm saying, let me put it like this: Ridley directed Alien and Gladiator, and Tony directed Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop 2.

Denzel Washington and Chris Pine are Denzel Washington and Will Colson respectively, two train yard workers in southern Pennsylvania. After another worker makes a careless blunder, an unmanned train full of hazardous chemicals is let loose, and it is gaining speed and heading towards a highly populated area. And you guessed it, Will and Denzel are the only ones who can stop it.

The story is the first problem. Tony Scott needs action, and it is basically impossible to make pulse-pounding action with a TRAIN. The acting is boring, Denzel plays an unbelievable Mr. Miyagi of trains, and Chris Pine looks like he's embarrassed to be in it. The script is unbelievable......y awful. I don't understand why they hired who they did, because they did not do a good job. Sublots make no sense, characters are idiotic stereotypes, and somehow the news knows all the personal information about everybody in the movie.

Overall, besides some pretty intense train scenes at the end, Unstoppable sucks. It's badly written, miscast, mis-crewed, and BORING. Seriously, I almost fell asleep. Don't give this movie money, because the way everything is a franchise now, I really don't want to see an "Unstoppable Part II: The Revenge."
