Tony Scott's
Unstoppable opens in 4 days. Consider me very excited. An apparent throwback to lean, mean, 70's actioners, the trailers have been showcasing some wild stunts and some incredible photography. I read an article where Scott stated that almost every single shot was real and that he limited the use of CGI bullshit. You can tell. Scott is Mr. High-Concept and this one sounds right up his wheelhouse: an unmanned train packed with toxic chemicals is on a collision course with a town and there are only two men who can stop it. If you're not sold by that description then there's no helping you...
I'm sold. Entirely. It looks like one continuous action sequence for 98 minutes. And it also looks strangely intelligent. I dunno. Seeing it on Friday evening (along with "Skyline," which, sue me, looks horrendous), and I am stoked.
ReplyDeleteSkyline looks horrendously awesome. I'll be seeing that one too, but likely next week after work on a cheapie-show.
