Unstoppable

Of all the action movies in the Scott brothers' portfolio. This may well be the shortest one. However, despite of its length (or lack of it), the intensity did not suffer one bit.

The fact that this story of heroism was inspired by true events makes it all the more exciting to watch although most of the time we tend to blindside the fact that there may be some degree of exaggeration involved too.

The pace of the story-telling is very much like subject of the movie. Slightly slow moving at first but gets to full steam very promptly. At times, one may find themselves holding their breaths in the course of the film as the excitement cuts really close.

This film draws fantastic references between experience against theory. Practicality over untested countermeasures. The grunts working the bolts and nuts versus management.

Even when Denzel Washington spends most of his screen time in the driver's seat. His presence reliterates the obvious reasons why he has been starring consecutively in Tony Scott's last few films.

It has always been a treat for movie-goers to catch a Scott Free production film mainly because they have all lived up to their expectations and more. This one is no different at all.
