Denzel Washington’s Unstoppable Is the Last Great Mid-Budget Action Movie of Its Era

Denzel Washington and Chris Pine star in Unstoppable, marking Washington’s fifth film with director Tony Scott. Pine was coming off his breakout role in the Star Trek reboot.

Critics generally liked Unstoppable; Rotten Tomatoes gives it an 87% rating, making it the third highest-rated film directed by Scott, behind Crimson Tide and True Romance, and ahead of popular films like Top Gun and Enemy of the State.
