Unstoppable
Directed by: Tony Scott
Starring: Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson
Rated: PG-13 for sequences of action and peril, and some language
Tony Scott has always had a fascination with speed. from his short film Agent Orange, to Top Gun, to Days of Thunder, to Taking Pelham 123, Tony Scott has always loved fast-moving transportation. His latest film, Unstoppable, is a different twist of his speedy-fare: a runaway train is bounding out of control through suburban areas, leading a dynamic duo of Denzel Washington and Chris Pine to race to avoid (and then stop) the un-manned train. It's as simple as that. No character development, meaningful themes, or interesting plot twists. If you try digging deeper in the film, you only get frustrated by the shallowness of the characters, or get weirded out by the chemistry and reactions of Washington's on-screen daughters. If you keep it simple, it's a a sure-fire adrenaline pumper that captures industrial Americana and, like most Tony Scott films, makes for a fun pop-corn muncher.
