Wow! Great story about an amazing wrestler who had to overcome so much in life! This may replace Vision Quest as my favorite wrestling movie! To see what he overcame with training for wrestling is mind blowing in such a tough sport that requires a lot of Stamina. I remember watching both finals matches of his in 2010 and 2011. This movie provides some great motivation on never giving up, especially when things get rough. I feel that they casted Anthony Robles well with their selected actor. Don Cheadle is always amazing in his roles. I'm not a J-Lo fan, but she played her role well. This is a movie that I can watch over and over!

The movie is good on its own. But feels a lot like numerous other inspiring sports movies. This one feels a lot like 1993's Rudy, even having a scene where the team rally around the main character staying on the team. It wears its numerous inspirations on its sleeve, including numerous references to Rocky.

The first half of the movie is rushed and kind of dull as it speeds through the events of his life. It goes through things so quickly that it lacks emotion. It's the second half that picks up and makes it worth it. This is when we really see him wrestling and focuses on a rival to defeat. It's the finale that really makes the movie worthwhile, making it just as tense and nail biting at Rocky or The Karate Kid.

The effects to make Jharrel Jerome appear to have one leg is really convincing and Jerome pulls it off. He's good when focusing on the wrestling aspect of the movie, with the real Anthony Robles standing in during certain shots. But he's not so good at the interpersonal drama, with his serious face often looking more confused. The rest of the cast are all good. Jennifer Lopez, Michael Pena, and Don Cheadle all give their usual terrific performances.

Real life sport biopics are inspiring and all, but they need to find a story that is more than just another Rocky or Cool Runnings.

Anthony Robles was born with one leg. With the support of his mother Judy Robles (Jennifer Lopez), he becomes a champion wrestling as a high school student. He still does not get an invitation from the major colleges especially his dream school Arizona State.

This is a biopic of American wrestler Anthony Robles. Apparently, he's playing himself in some of the wrestling. At its core, it is the very standard inspirational sports movie. The family story has some interesting darkness. JLo is mostly doing good. I have a slight problem with one of her big emotional talk, but it's a minor issue. This is generally very good.

Unstoppable Seen Unstoppable in an early preview in the theater and love it. I want to share with you the from all the major roles were excellent!

Storyline was fantastic- enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions.

Jharrel Jermone in the lead role draws you in to his sadness, happiness, and great will. Jennifer Lopez plays the mother with an extremely convincing. When the movie ended, I was physically worn-out from all the action/powerful scenes. This is based on a real story. The movie moves very quickly and great watching the plot unfold. This is based on a real story.

Don't let movie get away.

I highly recommend this film to all ages.

This movie tells the true story of Anthony Robles, born without a right leg, from Mesa, Arizona. He was raised by his mother who encouraged him to stand tall and be himself in spite of his handicap. Constantly pushing himself to be better and overcome his handicap, he discovered a passion for wrestling in high school. Striving to excel he rises up to become a force to be reckoned with on the mat, in spite of the struggles of his life.

There are a few scenes where Anthony is in Philadelphia and climbs the same steps as Rocky, and stands in Rocky's footsteps. I found myself rooting hard for Anthony Robles, not wanting to see him fail. But when he did, hoping he would get back up and fight harder. And when he did, cheering him on with every fiber of my being...GO ANTHONY GO!!!!

The Movie is based on Anthony's 2012 Autobiography Unstoppable. It is a great movie, some of my favorite themes rolled into one fantastic feel good movie. The underdog coming out on top against seemingly insurmountable odds, and an Incredible True Story. I love the True Story Movies the best, and I love this one.
