Unstoppable: A Cool Choice


I'm not into action movies, I'm a drama-mama. I love watching dramas, not making dramas in my life though.  Didn't have much expectation for Unstoppable but this movie has Denzel Washington, based on true events and it's about a train. It could NOT be lame, could it? 

The story is straightforward. An unmanned train is going towards the city carrying hazardous-explosive-materials, and a slide derail could cause a catastrophe to the highly populated city in Pennslyvania. Two train workers, Denzel and Chris Pine are trying to stop the train. Somehow, as a moviegoer, you know that the city is going to be safe and these two are going to become heroes. It's all about the journey, and not the destination, and I'm telling you the journey is EX-CITE-TING!

I like the camera works, it makes you cringe in suspense! This is a race against time and as the 777 train picks up speed, your adrenaline rushes in!  But why do they need too many useless police cars around? Are they going to build a wall that could stop the train or what? Just stay in your stations and eat your donuts please, officers! And the presence of a helicopter on top of the train while Chris Pine is trying to tie the trains together is not helping also, is it? Helicopter blows strong wind, so .... please can you shoo! But overall, I think this is a cool movie to watch.
