Watch Unstoppable For Free

Strong and Moving!

Fantastic!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Wesley Snipes is a deranged former army personnel and CIA agent in rehab who suffered the loss of his best friend in a mission in Bosnia. He dates his late friend's sister, who is a detective. Snipes becomes mixed up in a plot dealing with an experimental truth serum and is abducted and injected by the serum which gives him flashbacks to his Bosnian mission and cannot distinguish from reality while his girlfriend needs to find the antidote.The film has a moderate budget and made for a cinema release but is rather absurd and flawed even for an action thriller. Snipes has charisma but looks like a man whose future is heading for straight to DVD films.

Much better than average.Sorry to bring you the news but a black man engaged to a white chick is a no-no in American cinema. Westly Snipes is a daring man and probably a fool.Not a rat though.If the whole production suffers a bit from a lack of funds, it is rich with new ideas and developments. Ain't that the real meaning of a "B" movie? I'll choose Snipes flick and the white chick any time over the overrated Bourne series. At least it's got soul. At least it's got balls.And it's trying to get somewhere.

Before I start about this movie, I know many of you would like to direct your blame at Wesley, maybe not for just this movie but a lot of turkeys he's been making recently (Zig Zag, 7 seconds, The Marksman, Liberty stands still). Anyway he deserves blame in this film for not having more involvement on the script, which gets a bit silly. The movie is by no far means the worst movie I've seen; you just have to see another Snipes movie, "7 seconds" to do that! And at least unstoppable has strong performances from Snipes himself and the gorgeous Jacqueline Obradors. Its just the budget of this movie is clear to see, and the storyline is wafer thin with many loose ends not explained, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje plays an agent for the CIA named Junod, you may all remember him as Adebisi in the greatest TV show ever, OZ. Here he portrays a high ranking officer within the CIA with the worst American western style accent ever heard; there are even pauses during his dialogue for him to put the accent on. There are a few good fight scenes, like the scene in the Diner when Dean Cage (Snipes's character) beats down his attacker, and the chase to hunt him down is mildly enjoyable hence the generous maybe biased 5 out of ten I gave it. Stuart Wilson does a good job as the bad guy, but why he doesn't kill his bumbling henchmen especially Kim Coates character puts a big question mark on his characters ruthlessness. The story stumbles into the final scenes with so much predictability you feel like Deja vu. If you haven't enjoyed a decent performance from our dear friend Wesley since Jungle Fever or even Rising Sun, then don't expect it here, in fact who knows if we'll ever see another classic Wesley Snipes movie, now that he seems to make low budget straight to video fodder........watch only if it's on TV and nothing better is on

"Blade: Trinity" Wesley Snipes' last, horrible movie, suggested a classic "Steven Segal" case. Has run out of his fame, and will go in any film, no matter how bad, just to get on the camera. As was the case with "Half Past Dead". So when I read about "Unstoppable" in a blockbuster catalogue (after renting the superb "Motorcycle Diaries") I wasn't too optimistic. But, nevertheless, I decided to give it a try, anyway. It couldn't be that bad, could it? Actually, I was surprised. Very surprised. It may have all the classic "B-movie" symptoms (i.e. low budget, hardly known cast, cheesy script) yet this solid action movie was actually decent (compared to the usual rubbish I'm used to these days). If you want to see a great overall film, rent "Collateral". But if you want a good, surprisingly fresh (very violent) action film, "Unstoppable" just might be the ticket. Overall: ***/ out of ***** (3 and a half out of 5)
