Unmanned train looses control and dooms day is about to occur, as the train runs towards the city it's been stopped by a veteran engineer and a conductor.
Unstoppable is a pure thrill ride from beginning to end. Well-staged action, strong performances and great direction make it one of the most exciting films of the year.
This isn't groundbreaking fare, mind you. But Unstoppable muscles through its story of peril with crafted intensity and a few well-placed grins.

Though inspired by a real incident, the movie is an opportunistic political allegory about an economy that's out of control and industries that are weakened by layoffs, under-staffing and corporate callousness.
Unstoppable is the sort of movie in which characters recite dialogue like 'we're not talking about a train, we're talking about a missile the size of The Chrysler Building'... an incredibly fun time at the cinema.
Unstoppable may be a predictable, unsubtle and clichéd variation of Speed, but that doesn't stop it being the most exhilarating thriller of the year. Strap yourselves in for one hell of a ride.
