UNSTOPPABLE (D+)

Starring: Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson


Story
: An unmanned runaway train is carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals. An engineer and his conductor find themselves in a race against time. (Firm Films)


Rated
: PG-13


Bottom Line
:
Many critics are being way to generous to this movie. I love action films but the dizzying (read: annoying) camera work, cheesily-plotted script and anticlimactic mayhem should deliver nothing more than a who-cares shoulder shrug. The acting is the only thing that keeps this crazy train movie from completely running off the tracks. Unfortunately, UNSTOPPABLE…isn’t – as it’ll probably make a lot of money this weekend.

I'll probably go see this film simply because it was made in (well mostly around) Pittsburgh. Yay Pittsburgh Film Crews!
