Despite boasting a strong and popular cast, Unstoppable does not have much traction. It is a mundane and flat film. Ridley Scott has made some great actioned packed films but this is not one of them. The film drags on and builds up a seemingly bland subject matter. There probably was only so much one could do with this true story and incident. I feel a small TV episode or a short spiel in a documentary might have sufficed instead of a long film. The film felt like a chore to finish and get through. Unstoppable also lacks originality and we all likely knew how it was going to end up, there were no twists and turns to keep you engaged. It was boringly watch a runaway train a lazy worker forget to secure.
