UNSTOPPABLE [2010]

I'll admit, I wasn't expecting much at all going into the late Tony Scott's final film, Unstoppable.  
I was a fool.  What I got was a highly entertaining, tightly wound, heart-stopping action film that's difficult not to get wrapped up into.  The premise and characters are pretty thin but we're here for the action and that's where the film excels relentlessly.  Only Scott can make a crowd of onlookers in industrial smalltown USA look just as exciting as a high speed car chase in New York City. 
Popcorn fun at some of it's finest.
