Unstoppable

New Release Tuesday was supposed to be yesterday,
but due to work, it was pushed back for tonight.


Unstoppable
Adrenaline rush by Tony Scott.
Hell of a lot better than his last film,
The Taking of Pelhalm 123 remake.
Didn't like the sappy backstory to Chris Pine's character,
but, the action of chasing this train made up for it.
Rosario Dawson cooler than ever.
My heart was pounding in some of these sequences.
As usual, very fast paced editing like other Scott films.
One thing that bothered me was the media coverage for
this. I work for the media industry, and what I saw here
was too exaggerated and too unrealistic.
We got news helicopters chasing this train,
and every reporter gaining access to every location
and interviews with officials. In real life,
there would be no official interviews to the press
until the situation is under control.

Other than that, great popcorn movie.
