Unstoppable

I didn't think that this movie was going to be any better than a classic movie called Runaway Train with Eric Roberts. Nor did I think action maestro Tony Scott and Denzel Washington could improve on their last train movie The Taking of The Pelham. I was wrong on both counts. Unstoppable is a solid movie with performances and action that you expect from action movies but never get. The movie is based on a true story about an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train that ends up barreling toward a city. Denzel Washington plays a veteran engineer that tries to stop the train with Chris Pine, (Capt. Kirk from Star Trek) who plays a young conductor.
As always Director Scott makes you care about the characters while he keeps the action going.
The only improvement would have been to give Denzel's daughters more depth.

Verdict:
A hit movie that has been overlooked by everyone including myself. This movie must be seen on the big screen.
