Fugindo do Passado

Wesley Snipes fans expecting a fightfest will probably be disappointed with "Unstoppable" / "Nine Lives", since the martial arts quotient is very limited. But those who prefer their action films to be driven by their stories and have a touch of originality in them will probably like this more. The originality comes mostly in the form of the hallucinogenic effects of the drug that Snipes gets injected with, and the ways director David Carson merges illusions with reality. Snipes is believably haunted by his war memories, just as he is believably disoriented by the drug; an action star like, say, Steven Seagal, would hardly be able to handle this role. Playing a police detective who is also Snipes' girlfriend, Jacqueline Obradors is uncompromisingly tough, foul-mouthed and occasionally even unpleasant, and she handles it all with conviction. And Kim Coates always makes a dependable villain. The film also contains one of the funniest lines I've heard in a long time, precisely because it's so unexpected: "Hey, have you seen my pony?"

i loved this movie, i thought it was really cool, a little different then the average action film, deeper at times and good plot. loved the character and especially the Flashback section when they want to burn Scott in the prisoners interrogating room ( the lead character's best friend ) how it goes from reality to what he sees in his mind. strong scene, didn't expect it... it really makes u get into Wesley's character. i liked also the character of Wesley's girl...kicked ass. there r really good action scenes and interesting scenes, a bit weird to the good side at times which again makes it a little different then the average action flick. kicks ass!!! i recommend it.

Sometimes you watch an action movie that kicks your adrenaline level up to the ceiling, and sometimes you feel nothing when the movie ends. Good action in the "Unstoppable" will get you excited and hold you until it's over. Snipes makes an average action movie a much better one, but Obradors makes it somewhat difficult to watch. She is simply so beautiful in this movie that it made me hard to follow the story! Thus, she draws too much of a viewer's attention. The Coates-Sheppard duo makes it an excellent combo for the bad guys pack in this movie. They are much more comic than scary. The only thing that bothers me in this movie is the "Bosnia" part. Is that possible that Hollywood movie-makers can no longer find another villain nest? Is there really such a lack of imagination among them? Overall, this is an exciting movie with good actors, decent plot and suitable turns. Perfect for watching once. Enjoy!

I can not understand why this movie is rated so low on this web site the rating is 4.9 and this movie is not a 4.9 it is at least a 6 and a half out of 10.Wesley Snipes who is a kick ass action actor does a good job at acting and kicking ass in this movie.If u liked Wesley Snipes in this movie u should watch him in some of his other great action movies like Blade II, his first movie Wildcats,Passenger 57,Money train or White Men Can't Jump.

Over all do not believe this movies bad rating and all of the bad comments about this movie because this movie is way better then people say it is.And my rating is 6 and a half out of 10.

"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.
