Unstoppable

UNSTOPPABLE (2010) - Nov. 12, 2010
Almost absurdly entertaining and relentlessly and admirably single-minded, this was another winner from Tony Scott and Denzel Washinton about the race to stop a runaway train.  Expertly crafted by Scott, the film gets going almost immediately, and pretty much doesn't let up until the end credits roll.  Features a really efficient screenplay which sets up the two leads and gives them personal conflict in the most brisk way possible, the film quickly sets up the whole runaway train dealio and manages to remain engaging for pretty much the whole time.  This is a film that knows exactly what it is, and goes for it with gusto.  ****
