"That was ten million pounds of train, Mr Galvin! And this is the sound of me saving your ass!"
Unstoppable delivers a standard runaway-train disaster movie, but with a streamlined and very focused storyline that enables Denzel Washington and Chris Pine to develop a credible mis-matched relationship, reminiscent of Freeman and Pitt in Seven. In spite of the simplicity and generic nature of the narrative, Tony Scott keeps a tight reign on the tension which pays off well in the key moments. It may be 'inspired by true events', but the action inevitably strains credulity more than once; nevertheless, the execution of it is never short of exciting and entertaining.
