I don't agree with Quentin Tarantino about everything he says, but he was right about one thing, this movie is awesome! I love Unstoppable, the rewatchability factor for this film is massive and one of the big factors for why is Chris Pine and Denzel. I want to see these two back in a movie together again!🙏
Tony Scott absolutely knocked it outta the park with Unstoppable. REST IN PEACE you freaking legend.
So a few fun facts; Denzel actually recommended Chris Pine to Tony Scott for the role of Will, the actual engineer who stopped the train that this film is based on was the technical advisor for the film, and the veteran who was trying to board the train from the helicopter is actually a soldier who was in the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq
"Bone Collector" is one that rarely gets done. ❤❤
"ready to pull out or what?" "I'm coming.." Aaron: "thats usually what happens." 😂🤣
Fun Fact: This is one of Christopher Nolan's favourite movies. I can understand why.
As someone who grew up with this movie, I'm so happy it's finally getting some attention
This movie is a masterclass in taking a relatively mundane problem and making it epic.
Chris Pine is one of the only actors of his generation, especially back then at a relatively early time in his career, that can go toe to toe with Denzel in the screen presence department.
