Trailer—Unstoppable

Unstoppable

Wesley Snipes is an ex-special forces operations and is having a hard time adjusting to his civilian life. He is in love with the girlfriend of a man he had ordered to die. While waiting for her at the Chesapeake restaurant, he is mistaken for someone else who is supposed to be waiting there. He is injected with a powerful hallucinogenic drug which works off the power of suggestion. Snipes believes he is back in a Bosnia prison as the bad guys attempt to extract information from him, which he doesn't have. Meanwhile the CIA show up disguised as FBI. The movie takes place in Baltimore (at night) so we don't get to see much of the city. No sex. No nudity. No super special effects. It does show the mind play and hallucinations going on in Snipes head fairly well.

"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)

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.

Seeing how awful Blade Trinity was, renting Unstoppable and seeing how much I liked it, the first question I asked was why he didn't release this instead. It's a B-rated movie, so I knew what to expect. Yes the CG jet fighter planes were obviously so, and some of the explosions featured fake fire; but as far as the story goes I was entertained. Again, I wasn't expecting Blade here; it's your basic action movie. When I rented this I thought it was gonna be really bad, but for the really low budget and the material presented I was pleasantly surprised. **1/2 out of **** stars.

Slightly low-budget, but much better than a stupid vampire movie. And again, not the world-class production of the Art of War, but a decent sit-down and storyline. The big-set effects seem to have been saved for the final scenes, but nevertheless a chilling premise. This is another freaky tale of mind manipulation weapons development and attempts at proliferation, thereof. Don't go out of your way, but if you do, it's certainly a decent fix for any action movie buff. Die-hard Wesley Snipes fans won't want to miss this one, however. Somewhere near the beginning of the movie, Snipes who plays Dean Cage, U.S. Army black ops soldier serial # 190405243, reminds us that he is one of the most dangerous international-level fighters both on and off camera. Thus, the hand-to-hand combat sequences alone are worth the time spent in this regard.

I can not understand why this movie is rated so low on this web site the rating is 4.9 and this movie is not a 4.9 it is at least a 6 and a half out of 10.Wesley Snipes who is a kick ass action actor does a good job at acting and kicking ass in this movie.If u liked Wesley Snipes in this movie u should watch him in some of his other great action movies like Blade II, his first movie Wildcats,Passenger 57,Money train or White Men Can't Jump. Over all do not believe this movies bad rating and all of the bad comments about this movie because this movie is way better then people say it is.And my rating is 6 and a half out of 10.

Sometimes you watch an action movie that kicks your adrenaline level up to the ceiling, and sometimes you feel nothing when the movie ends. Good action in the "Unstoppable" will get you excited and hold you until it's over. Snipes makes an average action movie a much better one, but Obradors makes it somewhat difficult to watch. She is simply so beautiful in this movie that it made me hard to follow the story! Thus, she draws too much of a viewer's attention. The Coates-Sheppard duo makes it an excellent combo for the bad guys pack in this movie. They are much more comic than scary. The only thing that bothers me in this movie is the "Bosnia" part. Is that possible that Hollywood movie-makers can no longer find another villain nest? Is there really such a lack of imagination among them? Overall, this is an exciting movie with good actors, decent plot and suitable turns. Perfect for watching once. Enjoy!
