Unstoppable in one line is a story of two railway employees trying to stop an out of control unmanned train loaded with explosive chemicals, Thats almost it about the story, It is comparable to a program on discovery channel with the same theme when it comes to storyline but it works in its favor as there are no emotional subplots involved with the heroes families , the movie starts with how a train goes out of control and ends obviously with our heroes stopping it without much damage caused, Denzel washington and chris pine almost spend all their screen time on trains or around them, Although they don't have much to do as the film focuses more on the technical aspect of how the train has to be stopped but still both do justice to their supporting roles as the real star of the movie is the out of control train '777' as they call it, the train has the maximum screen time then anybody else and i must say that tony scott did a great job in portraying the train as a beast on a rampage which is going to destroy anything that tries to stop it, There are moments in the movie where as an audience i was intimidated by the train and its monstrous power showing how helpless human beings can get facing such a artificially created force. Tony scott has a fascination for speed , first it was top gun (airplanes)then days of thunder (race cars) then crimson tide (submarines) and now unstoppable (trains), The movie focuses on high speed drama and is able to entertain throughout without a dull moment although i must say that i have seen better movies featuring trains for eg. under siege 2 but still unstoppable is pretty decent 7 /10
