"Unstoppable" is a complete misnomer. It's about a speeding runaway train that's heading towards a populated city centre, and only Denzel Washington and Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) can stop it.
But without spoiling the end, you know that one way or another it has to stop. Ergo, it isn't "Unstoppable".
Grammatical pedantry aside, I enjoyed it more than I expected to. I think Tony Scott is an extremely competent action director and the plot gripped me more than a story where the bad guy is a train should have. Both leads are likeable in their own way, and as the film is on about 90 mins it feels a bit like a 90's throwback, which of course I liked.
Worth a watch if you're bored one evening, but don't go out of your way.
