Very big train hits stuff. Bish bash bosh. Job done. Great fun.

Though it's a ridiculous ride, it offers the heightened pulse of a great race.

Of course it's implausible, but it's also consistently entertaining.

This isn't groundbreaking fare, mind you. But Unstoppable muscles through its story of peril with crafted intensity and a few well-placed grins.

Denver Post

Top Critic

Though inspired by a real incident, the movie is an opportunistic political allegory about an economy that's out of control and industries that are weakened by layoffs, under-staffing and corporate callousness.

There's a gut-level simplicity to "Unstoppable" that works despite all its clichés.

Big Hollywood

Scott proves once again that action movies don't need to be a headache-inducing, bright, loud, irritating experience, but instead can be something more when given the right treatment.

The title, then, is probably referring to the human spirit. That's corny, but it works.

Film Freak Central

Despite Tony Scott managing to maintain his high-octane style, the relative simplicity of the plot gives Unstoppable a more intimate feel than his usual bombastic actioner

... As the train picks up speed, the movie does the same.

Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)

Thunderous, metallic, ominous, screeching sound effects add to the sensory perception that you're watching a megaton monster barreling toward a dramatic showdown.

The Ooh Tray

Pretty heavy on cliches, but the simple fact that the film's one giant popcorn-infused action sequence should please most action fans.

IGN DVD

Scott subdues his more stylized tendencies to deliver the kind of meat-and-potatoes action thriller that might very well be watched and enjoyed by the heroic blue collar characters in this movie.

Unstoppable takes a simple premise and spins it into an entertaining film surging with pure energy.

Tony Scott's Unstoppable is, in a word, awesome.

Washington has these films down to a science by now, and it's fun to watch a consummate professional do his thing.

Just the ticket for fun at the movies, Unstoppable is a non-stop joy ride.

This simple but effective man versus machine blockbuster signals a return to form for director Tony Scott.

(Director Tony) Scott is much better at building tension here than he was in 2009's so-average-it-hurt remake of The Taking of Pelham 123.

As they say about train wrecks, it's impossible to look away.

Anders Wotzke

Moviedex

Highly accomplished, wholly predictable filmmaking with a monster of a runaway train as central protagonist.

Simon Weaving

Screenwize

When compared to Tony Scott's patented two men actioners, Unstoppable stands tall as a highlight in sound, fury, and token action movie silliness.

Matt's Movie Reviews

Unstoppable certainly is nail-biting -- if only for the furious editing, swooping cameras, crash zooms and thunderous soundtrack. It's a shame that it's impossible to escape the sense of autopilot that pervades.
