What a Thrill!, 14 November 2010
7/10

Director of many great over the top films like Man on Fire and Deja Vu teams up yet again with Denzel Washington to bring you Unstoppable. Tony Scott is an absolute genius when it comes to thrilling the audience. We've seen him do it from time to time and this time its no less.

Veteran train engineer Frank (Denzel Washington) and young train Conductor Will (Chris Pine) team up to stop a runaway train filled with highly conductible chemicals. Both Frank and Will have issues at home to deal with while doing their jobs.

Both Denzel Washington and Chris Pine deliver a great performance. The acting was superb and the whole view was tremendous. This movie will have you on the edge of your seat and holding on so you don't fall off. I'm not going as far as to say this movie is a masterpiece or its extremely smart. The whole point of going to the movies is to be entertained and boy is this entertaining.

Thumbs up to Tony Scott who in opinion is better that his brother.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I was really impressed by this film. Before seeing it I had thought of it as Speed but on a train. Now I think it has all the velocity of Speed with the tension and dark humour of the Die Hards, all with a stellar cast, and it definitely stands on its own feet.

The characters are great because they are so easy to relate to. These are just ordinary guys, with everyday problems, at work as usual. Even the corner-cutting that starts the whole thing off is something that viewers can - albeit not too easily - forgive, because hasn't everybody cut corners in their job at least once? And the "top management" - well, nobody expects that they are going to put logical solutions ahead of checking the bottom line, and they are true to form.

But, of course, most of us haven't got an unmanned train carrying toxic material hurtling along at 70 mph to deal with as part of our day job.

What makes the characters of Frank and Will so compelling is that they aren't slick, Kevlar-wearing cops but railway engineers, and the fact that they handle an extreme situation with logic, dedication, humour and courage makes them even more heroic.

The action is fast-paced, and the tension grabs you from around 10 minutes in and just doesn't let go. I haven't seen a film so suspenseful in ages! This is definitely one of the best movies I've seen this year and I highly recommend it.

What's the message in the movie?
      The courage of a one person or tne two can stop all the problems, doesn´t matter the size and the speed.
