"Unstoppable"

Action/Adventure, Drama and Thriller. Rated PG-13. 1 hour 38 minutes.

When a reckless employee reaches into the train and moves the throttle down from neutral and says he will activate the air brakes when he hops on, naturally, he fails to hop on as the train increases its speed.

Unstoppable is rated PG-13 for sequences of action and peril and some language. It was shot in Pittsburgh and is being distributed by 20th Century Fox.

This movie is about a veteran engineer (Denzel Washington) and a young, inexperienced conductor (Chris Pine) who tries to stop an unmanned runaway train with a cargo of toxic chemicals going 75 mph thru small towns and large cities in Pennsylvania.

They are in a separate locomotive trying to figure out how to stop the train before it hits a huge curve and derails in Stanton, Pennsylvania.

The action and suspense was thrilling as you see the loud train with thirty cars pass each rural town where TV news crew and interested residents wait with cameras in hand. Rosario Dawson plays Connie the dispatch operator who keeps the engineer and conductor informed of the runaway train's whereabouts and shuts down roads as it passes through towns.

The movie is directed by Tony Scott and is claimed to be his best movie yet. The film lasts one hour and a half. I would definitely recommend this movie as you will sit on the edge of your seat throughout the entire movie.

OVERALL RATING: A
