How do you stop a run-away missile when the drivers seat is empty?

Plot: Unstoppable is a 2010 Thriller from Tony Scott and starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine.  It is loosely based on a true story about a runaway train in 2001, although the real story is far less dramatic than the movie; but, that is why we have movies.  [Read about the true story here]

Did It Suck? The entire movie is very much about the one, unstoppable, train but it has human interest stories as well that don’t detract in any way from the action and there are really no slow parts.  The story is pretty simplistic, the train is running away and needs to be stopped, and the plot basically follows the various attempts to achieve this.  I really liked the acting in this one, everyone really came across just as if they were employees of the railway, desperate to stop the train, and this really makes you connect more to them and want to cheer them along.

The action was great, with requisite crashes thrown in.  However, you would absolutely have to suspend belief for some of the scenes which I found hard to do (as I used to drive trains so know more than your average moviegoer).  However, it was still a thrill ride and no matter how believable it may be it was extremely enjoyable, and even if you don’t especially like trains I think you’d enjoy this.  Definitely Worth A Ticket.
