But the never-ending faux news footage does get a bit tiresome. The high-octane train sequences are staged with increasingly nail-biting tension, admirably shot without reverting to computer-generated trickery.
Known for the over-the-top bluster of his action fests, director Tony Scott shows considerable restraint (although not with his budget - this cost an estimated $100 million), focusing as much on the lives of his characters as their white-knuckle predicament. As their own engine attempts to catch up with what office-bound controller Rosario Dawson describes as "a missile the size of the Chrysler building", the men are forced to put aside their differences (one is being forced into retirement, the other is to all intents and purposes replacing him) and work as a team. "Unstoppable" is rated PG-13 for situations of peril and profanity running time: 98 minutes.This edge-of-your-seat action yarn finds veteran railwayman Denzel Washington and rookie conductor Chris Pine racing against the clock to stop an unmanned runaway train loaded with toxic chemicals derailing near a densely populated town. But the pacing was spot-on, Washington, Pine-led cast really sells the story. Its his first day working for the railway company with Denzel Washington, so hes saying goodbye to his wife Emotional Motivation and his photogenic young. The film suffers a bit from Tony Scott's obsession with shaky camera work and a soundtrack that's pretty generic. Experienced train engineer Frank Barnes (Washington) finds himself teamed up with young conductor Will Colson (Pine) in a frantic race against time when an unmanned, half-mile long runaway train carrying a cargo of lethal toxic chemicals cuts loose and threatens to wipe out an. What sets "Unstoppable" apart from other start-to-finish thrillers such as "Speed" is that "Unstoppable" is its loose connection the true story of an unmanned train taking off in 2001. Tony Scott directs this runaway train action thriller starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson. He goes to a group of older workers, with whom he has some barbed words over their age differences, and finds Barnes among them. After all, the title refers to the action on the impending collision of the trains. Arriving at work, Colson, a conductor, gets his orders for the day and learns he will be working with engineer Frank Barnes (Denzel Washington), with whom he has never worked before. The uncomplicated dramas of the train workers lay the tracks for emotional connection but aren't particularly intriguing when thousands of tons of metal are barreling their ways toward each other. Colson's wife won't answer his phone calls, and Barnes missed his daughter's birthday. Sure, there's a moment or two of early character setup, but it's the obvious and necessary family drama. It launches its runaway train within the first 10 minutes of the opening scene and doesn't stop following that train until the final five. "Unstoppable" doesn't pretend to be more than what the trailer suggests, which is an action drama tour de force. Does there need to be? How can you ask that? It's a "true" story about a missile train en route to obliterate a small city.
Is there more to the film than that? Not really.
