Unstoppable: Unexpectedly fun

Trains have never been more exciting. The film uses the train as the antagonist, pushing our two unwilling heroes close in an effort to save some piece of PA I’ve never heard of. There is a slow build from everyday life at the depot to the extraordinary feat of chasing down an out-of-control train. You think it would be fairly straight forward, but there are a few times were the crazy locomotive outwits the people. Though some stuff does blow up in the pursuit, the thrill of the chase is what keeps the viewer interested throughout the movie.
Verdict: Catch the matinee (see for a discount)
