Unstoppable

This is a fast fun thrill seeking ride, but nothing much more than that.

the story is simple, there is an unmanned train carrying toxic waste heading for a populated area and a big bend which will cause it to crash. and its down to our two leads to stop it. this is basically it, there are some very weak sub plots, not even that, more back stories in an attempt to flesh out the characters. but that is it.

but who am i kidding this film isn't here for plot or characters. its is here to look good, the photography and flashy visuals, the editing and camera work make it a visual feast experience. Tony Scott proves once again he is the king of this. somehow he manages to create genuine feeling and emotion for his charcters dilemmas despite us not really caring for them. a special talent indeed.

Unfortunately flashy visuals is all this is and is immediately forgettable after an enjoyable 90 mins in the cinema.
