Too much of everything
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Good concept, poorly executed.
best movie i've ever seen.
Wesley Snipes play the part of an ex-soldier that is going to marry his girlfriend, but, in a bar, he is confused with another person and a group of traitors to CIA inject him a powerful drug that mixes reality and memory. He and his girlfriend have to fight in order to find an antidote and to crush the organization that has attacked Wesley. A typical bad action film, with all the clichés that can be found in this kind of films. Directed poorly, with scenes not very well-done and a lot of unbelievable moments of mastery in aiming. Neither the actors nor the plot are very good so the film is quite bad. On the other hand it has any moment of breathe and the action does not bore the spectator, (unexpected) which is a (little) good point. Ideal for TVfilm (it was originally thought as one), for seeing and forgot, but a little enjoyable if you like action films
Wesley Snipes stars as Dean Gage, an ex soldier who has emotional baggage, however when he is injected with a truth serum, Gage finds himself vulnerable and the bad guys on his trail, but who can he trust? I caught Unstoppable on USA a couple of months ago and it is easily one of the worst movies i've seen from Wesley Snipes. I know this don't go to theaters but the quality and the overall final result is substandard even for a straight to video action flick. The action sequences are filmed with little interest and the movie just lacks an originality or life to make this for anyone but Wesley Snipes enthusiasts.1/2* out of 4-(Awful)
Much better than average.Sorry to bring you the news but a black man engaged to a white chick is a no-no in American cinema. Westly Snipes is a daring man and probably a fool.Not a rat though.If the whole production suffers a bit from a lack of funds, it is rich with new ideas and developments. Ain't that the real meaning of a "B" movie? I'll choose Snipes flick and the white chick any time over the overrated Bourne series. At least it's got soul. At least it's got balls.And it's trying to get somewhere.
"Unstoppable" is an underwhelming action/drama with Snipes as a retired Special Forces badass who is unwittingly injected with a powerful hallucinogen which will result in his death unless he and his detective girlfriend (Obradors) can get their hands on the antidote before the end of the flick. A very ordinary B-flick with a messy plot, this film spends its time with Snipes hallucinating when it's convenient and not when it's not while the rest of the cast (CIA, cops, bad guys) goes through the motions with the kind of enthusiasm you expect from a crew who just wants to get paid and go home. Messy, rote, uninspired, and a big step down for Snipes who hasn't exactly been at the top of the A-list these day, "Unstoppable" is not recommendable even for action junkies. Don't waste your time.
