Unstoppable probably is the latest addition of Hollywood heroics action thriller movie genre. Directed by Tony Scott who is also direct The Taking of Pelham123. This movie promise-maybe-greater action on a train that exist in The Taking of Pelham 123.This movie is about an-accidentally-unmanned train #777 type GE AC4400CWs. The human error of the hostlers cause the train to be a coaster. In addition it carry dangerous chemical substance and accidentally enter and running fast in the main line in the northern Pennsylvania from Fuller train yard to Stanton city populated approx.700.000 peoples.
Mean while, a Hostler Frank Barnes played by Denzel Washington and his conductor Will Colson played by Chris Pine carry an empty consist heading towards the coaster train. Eventually, they almost-in a nick of time-being hit by the coaster, saving all of the consist except the rear one. Frank saw that the rearmost coupling of the coaster is open and decide to chase it with Will who at the beginning was reluctant to follow Frank's idea. Will they be able to stop the train and save the city?
The film is great for the cinema lover who miss the old Hollywood heroic action thriller movie that has easy to guess plot but made me curiously watch the movie. The negative point is the rather crazy and mystic scene of the throttle switch that depicted to be able to move itself. I personally think that scene is crazy! and breaking the illusion-for a while-of movie. In addition, the picture of Chris in the poster is something like CGI. I don't know but the picture is like CG images.
In conclusion, aside a few minus fact, the movie is admirable and fascinate me. How about you?
