15 More Dumb Movies Which Are Secretly Smart

Quote:

9. Unstoppable

Unstoppable - which tells the story of two train conductors (Denzel Washington and Chris Pine) trying to stop a runaway freight train speeding through Pennsylvania - is one ridiculously great popcorn flick.

It's an exhilarating, endlessly thrilling high-concept thriller that rises high on Tony Scott's smashing direction and the watertight pacing, but what really makes this movie stand out is that it's not just a dumb action film. There's more to it than that, and while the film rightly focuses mainly on giving viewers a great time, it also provides a bit of food for thought.

As well as being an exciting runaway train story, Unstoppable is also an effective cautionary tale of corporate America run amok. Denzel Washington and Chris Pine make for a great pair of action heroes but it's actually Rosario Dawson's yardmaster who emerges as the film's most compelling character, as she tries unsuccessfully to talk down the corrupt corporate overlords who care more about money than about the lives the runaway train has put at risk.

All of this material feels plenty relevant now, as cases of corporate corruption continue to hit headlines all the time. Unstoppable features a satisfying happy ending where the arrogant Vice-President of the train company is fired and Connie (Dawson) takes his place. It's a damn shame this kind-of scenario doesn't happen more often in real life.

The 10 Best Denzel Washington Movie Quotes, Ranked

10. "You got too much train traveling entirely too fast."

'Unstoppable' (2010)

There’s something to be said for a line of dialogue basically summing up the main point of the movie; think something like Tony Montana’s “Say goodnight to the bad guy” monologue from Scarface. Denzel Washington’s character in Unstoppable, Frank Barnes, gets such a line that says all that needs to be said about this underrated and quite engaging disaster movie.

Frank and a train conductor (Chris Pine) find themselves in a tense situation involving a runaway train that, if not stopped, is likely going to derail in a highly-populated area and cause untold destruction and/or death. Washington gets to lay out Untouchable's premise in a straight-to-the-point way that might sound cheesy if delivered by a lesser actor, but he makes it work (and the film overall largely works as simple, old-fashioned disaster/thriller entertainment).
