OMG!!! When I 1st saw this movie when I was 13, I was LITERALLY on the edge of my seat! I was sweating, my heart was racing, I was probably white-knuckling the couch (I can't remember. It's been a while.). Either way, this is my favorite movie of all time! If U haven't seen this movie, what R U doing w/your life?! If U love Denzel Washington and Chris Pine, and if U love trains, watch this! U WON'T REGRET IT!!!

I rented this movie just for Denzel. Don't even know who the other guy is, and does it matter? HELLOOOO! It's DENZEL! Wonderful, nail-biter of a movie tho; lots of action and thrills. And that other guy did a fine job trying to keep up with the amazingness that is DENZEL!

I got the original one to work after changing the region to Region #4 and then going into the settings and selecting English, per instructions from the seller. The seller has graciously offered to knock 20% off the purchase price for the inconvenience. I am very grateful for this.

Working class heroes save the day

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2019

No magical super heroes here, just working class railroad guys who risk their lives to stop a runaway train carrying flammable, toxic fuel that's headed for a dangerous elevated track in a Pennsylvania town. The train is number 777, going 75 mph with no engineer. The train is sure to derail, and hundreds will be killed.

Director Tony Scott is known for action and disaster films that have lots of breathtaking special effects but often leave something to be desired in terms of character development and story. No so here. Denzel Washington and Chris Pine play an engineer and conductor respectively, Denzel being a 28 year railroad veteran and Pine being a new young guy with only four months of experience. They're both family men. We get to know them well. We care about them, and that's what fuels the suspense.

Trains are big, powerful and scary, and we get plenty of scenes of 777 barrelling through railroad crossings and crashing into all kinds of stuff (including a horse trailer. Thankfully, the horses got out in the nick of time). And Scott uses real trains, not fakey CGI. All very thrilling, but it's the characters and the story that keep us interested.

Washington has been in some films that weren't so great. But has he ever turned in a bad performance? Nope. He's one of the most reliable, dedicated actors of our time. He takes his work seriously. Chris Pine is equally convincing.

You can't possibly watch this film without remembering the classic 1986 film _Runaway Train_ written by the legendary director Akira Kurosawa. _Unstoppable_ has one scene at the end that pays tribute to that fim, when Washington is standing atop of a railroad car with both arms upraised in victory, exactly as Jon Voight did at the end of _Runaway Train_.

_Runaway Train_ had a message about an escaped convict doing the honorable thing. In this film, working class people do the honorable thing. The corporate railroad executives are portrayed as unconscionable jerks. They call a meeting as the potential disaster is going on, and the main topic is how much their stock will be devalued if there is a crash and "collateral damage."

This is one of the best films of 2010, not just because of the amazing scenes, but because it's about real everyday people saving lives, not for heroism or accolades, but because it's the right thing to do. Inspiring. And no big spoiler: The ending is triumphant.

Unstoppable from beginning to end!

Having been a railfan for most of my life, I was intrigued when I saw the previews of this movie back in the fall. Having seen it on the big screen I was simply amazed at the thrill-ride I was on for 1 hr and 38 min. I know this movie is based on real-life events, though they were overexemplified in the movie simply because, well it was made to make money for the motion picture industry. You have 2 morons at the beginning of the movie who look like they belong anywhere but working in a rail yard, especially Ethan Suplee who hops out of the cab of a high-power locomotive attached to a consist of 39 cars while it is in motion, even though his co-worker warns him the air hoses are not attached, rendering the air brakes useless to stop the train!! Then you flash to a rookie conductor (Chris Pine) and a veteran engineer (Denzel Washington) whom are out on a routine day of hauling cargo. From there on out it is non-stop action. I have to admit that some of the scenes were rather ridiculous, if not entertaining and hold-your-breath types, such as the one where the lashup (2 locomotives connected together to haul heavier consists) driven by another veteran engineer (David Warshofsky) derails and explodes after 777 bumps it as it goes into the siding and also where the (what were they thinking?) young Afghanistan veteran is lowered from the helicopter onto the fast moving locomotive and gets knocked off when 777 hits the lashup hard. After that it is nuts with the drama and suspense as Pine and Washington try to speed up and couple their lone locomotive to a 41-unit train with 2 much more powerful locomotives in full throttle, how did they ever think they were going to be able to stop a 70-plus mph train with one older, well-used locomotive? Rosario Dawson did lend a very good performance in her role as yardmaster and communicating and connecting with Pine and Washington during their daring chase.

I will admit I was on the edge of my seat in the theater when this was released in November and eagerly awaited the DVD release, though I have to admit it isn't quite as riveting on a TV screen as it is in a theater. The ending was a bit of a letdown as it just simply ended and with no air brakes I don't see how Chris Pine could have braked that 75-mph train in a very short distance. The one nice plus is he reunited with his estranged wife and child. Guess it takes a near death tragedy to bring a couple back together...

All in all, a great movie worth watching for a thrill ride. Think I saw it 4 times in the theater.
