DVD Review: Unstoppable

Unstoppable is a suspenseful thriller that transforms a freight train into a thunderous villain, with Denzel Washington and Chris Pine as unique supporting characters along for the ride. From the first minutes, our “bad guy” train is moving and is not going to stop for anything. As the uncontrollable behemoth barrels down rural Pennsylvania track, we learn the engineers’ back stories, while the train creates havoc for the station house and corporate executives responsible for this mammoth monster’s destruction. Director Tony Scott includes a comprehensive documentary on the making of the film that is not to be missed. Using real, life-size trains for all stunts and action sequences is what makes Unstoppable not only believable but fun to watch. This film is rated PG-13 for intense scenes and language. - Kathy (Downtown)
