The central struggle is therefore more impersonal. There's no way to put a human face on the antagonist - it's soulless and uncaring. It's a difficult thing to craft a motion picture in which the bad guy is a runaway train. However, the incorporation of clichéd back stories for key characters, a fractious relationship between the protagonists, and an unnecessary villain - all elements lifted from the Screenwriter's Handbook - provide moments of unwelcome and unnecessary annoyance. When the production concentrates on the action, which includes dangerous activities and a race against time, Unstoppable delivers. Unfortunately, the sheer exhilaration is dampened somewhat by an overreliance upon action/thriller stock situations and characters. Unstoppable, a 95-minute thrill ride from director Tony Scott, delivers the right level of adrenaline.
