alan g Great action movie. Great acting. Realistic situations. Real thrill ride. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Deke P This is a RUNAWAY TRAIN movie. Continuous action, thrills, & suspense, somewhat like that old train movie starring BORNINE, & the long scene shootout on a train in the 1964(or 3?) classic HOW THE WEST WAS WON. In this one, DENZEL W. is the hero, as the conductor of another train trying to hook up and slow down the runaway.Giving it 4 stars out of 5, cuz thrilling!Never knew anything about this one until saw on the tv set 12.5.23.Note to sef, next time, wat the first hour........ closely.

Straightforward & tight writing that just worries about the essentials. The score & lead actors build a fitting tone. Nothing new but lots of fun. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review David W Unstoppable is an action-packed, dramatized version of a true story.
