Unstoppable
Denzel Washington and Chris Pine star in Tony Scott's latest movie based on a real life incident of a runaway freight train and two men attempting to stop it. It seems to hit the technical chords just right. It's shot with some great cinematography and cool special effects. Needless to say, the film looks very impressive and is very entertaining. Unfortunately, the same could not be said about our lead characters. Washington and Pine are extremely talented actors, but the script focuses too much on the train and not enough on these characters that need to be developed for the audience to care about the situation. The stakes would've been much higher and would've made the viewing experience much more engaging. As it is though, it's entertaining movie with a cool premise that ultimately could have been more.
