UNSTOPPABLE (Theatrical Release USA 2010)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì

Unstoppable—some good news and some bad news. The good news—action scenes are superb and characters are well done. The bad news—a few flat spots that revolve around the deaths of an engineer and injury of a main character. Overall? Thrilling, exciting with a few flat spots. It’s a ‘don’t-want-to-get-popcorn-until-the-movie-is-over’ flick.
