I saw this movie without too much expectation, just to have some fun.The film reached my expectations, but it let me down in other ways. Thestoryline is a basic-used before one, but it still does it's job for anaction movie.

Going down to details, the acting is pretty good, and it's expected tobe from actors such as Denzel Washington and actresses like RosarioDawson. The Denzel Washington - Tony Scott combo had worked out prettywell in 'Man on Fire' and it worked again.

On the other hand, I just can't figure out Tony Scott's intention withthe shooting style. It's just awful. It looks like he tries to add moremovement and "action" to every shot. The constant zoom in and out andpans are more annoying than enthralling. I almost stopped watching themovie after the first 15 minutes because of this.

Still, it ended up being an obvious but entertaining movie to catch onthe cable someday. One time see. Nothing you'll remember in the future.

This Tony Scott's Unstoppable is the sort of movie easily definable asimprobable (though based on a true event occurred in 2001), its plot(with runaway locomotive bearing down hazardous materials on an urbancenter populated by massive fuel containers..) being too full ofabsurdities. However Denzel Washington's performance's always bringingintegrity and completion to anything he does. In this case his presenceis also vital to the story. Solid as usual, Denzel has us sympathizingwith him and with his co-worker. Therefore the human element heprovides (as well as Rosario Dawson's acting) makes the improbableaction even worthwhile. The movie gets eventually to provide thethrills and some good pieces of entertainment. So it works, with anadrenaline rush lasting for the whole runtime and having the viewerwondering what's happening next in every scene. I have laughed at theludicrousness of some scenes but overall this action packed flick ishighly entertaining.

If a storyline could have been more simple or the characterisation moreaustere, than one we witnessed in this particular movie, we would havehad on our hands not a movie but a rudimentary portfolio of a buddingfilm-maker.

It is quite surprising , actually, to encounter a movie likeUnstoppable in today's times. The movie feeds off clichés , feels athome with a plain and domestic screenplay. There are no twists andturns which may confront even the most gullible viewer. In fact thewhole setting is so severely undernourished in terms of complexity thatit hardly seems becoming for a movie which seeks to pull along solelyon the basis of cinematic extravagance , in today's age of dazzlingspecial effects, surrealism and intellectual complexity.

Inspite of this Unstoppable shines . It shines brilliantly for thegenre. The movie comes across something fresh , uncomplicated and adelectable return to those "Romantic Liasions between Action ,Sentimentality and Heroism" .

The cast is suited for the Job. The script fits in.The special effectsare neither too sumptuous nor too demeaning(for a 21st century movie).

The best part about the feature was it's simple treatment of things.There were no innuendos which the viewer would miss because ofoverwhelming intellectual allegories. Everything was dished out simplywithout any conceit.

A Gripping "Action Drama" which deserves some attention if not a lot.
