Unstoppable

(spoiler free)

With Chris Pine starring in one of the biggest upcoming summer blockbusters, namely Star Trek: Into Darkness, I wanted to explore some of his previous filmography. Before watching this movie I did have reservations as I thought how exciting could a film all about trains really be? I’d no need for such reservations.

Unstoppable did a surprisingly good job of keeping the viewer entertained and the variety of scenes on the train kept you wondering what was going to happen next. With the story being based on real events it gave the film that element of reality which was useful as you found yourself really rooting for the characters throughout.

The on screen relationship between Chris Pine and Denzel Washington’s characters was great and provided some much needed comedic moments amongst the otherwise tense storyline. Their chemistry was also useful for revealing the back stories to the characters without boring the viewer.

BIGGEST FLAW – No major flaws

BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT – The chemistry between the lead actors
