Unstoppable Reviews:
Unstoppable 
2008-12-18 - Not a great movie but the cast makes up for this B actioner with Wesley Snipes. When ex-soldier Snipes is injected with a halucinagenic drug he relives a bad mission in Bosnia making it difficult for those trying to sell the drug. They must try and cover their tracks as the CIA closes in on their deal. Many recognizable faces in this well paced movie. If you enjoy action movies I suggest you rent it and you may find it worth owning. If you enjoyed this catch "Terminal Velocity"
CA Luster
Same plot as every other movie.
2007-11-07 - Same plot as every other movie. Snipes is a cop/soldier/person that can fight/etc. Someone is trying to kill Snipes for some reason. Snipes fights a lot, blows up things and uses guns. It was boring and not well acted. The plot has been overused and the acting is not very good. This may be one of Snipes worst films. Thank God he now has the The Blade Trilogy (Blade/ Blade II/ Blade: Trinity), otherwise we would be seeing him in a lot Movie-to-TV or DVD movies.
Snipes has some really good movies (Passenger 57), Unstoppable (also titled Nine Lives) is one of those movies he should have never chosen.
More action would have earned more stars 
2005-06-20 - The movie plot looked so tired and dumb that I assumed there would be a lot of good ass-kicking and people getting their heads blown off. So I rented it. To be sure, there were some cool fights, but long, tedious scenes of the "top bad guy" yelling at his inept henchmen and plot over-development kept the fireworks from happening until the end and even that was a little weak and stunted.
The plot device that kept getting in the way was the hallucinagenic drug theme. Snipes' character, Dean Cage, is injected with a drug that makes him believe he's in a past combat situation and his friend is in danger. Any suggestion is automatically believed - at one point he's told "You're on fire" and immediately we see his legs burst into flame. That was sort of neat, but they bang on this drum and rely on the theme that Cage is a poor hapless dupe so much - so sad for a renter who expected to some serious ass-whooping. Should have read some other reviews first, I guess!
SNIPE HUNTING
2005-05-25 - In spite of its derivativeness and lack of true cinematic flair, UNSTOPPABLE is enjoyable and has some good things to recommend it:
*Mark Sheppard and Kim Coates as an Abbott and Costello-style hit men duo, whose stone faced seriousness adds unintended camp;
*Jacqueline Obradors does well as a gritty cop who doesn't take guff from bad government agents;
*Wesley Snipes who will more than likely enter the aging action hero group of stars like Steven Seagal, Jean Claude van Damme and others, doesn't require much suspension of belief in his hallucinogenic stupor;
Stuart Wilson is fun in his "Let's try and act like Rip Torn" villain role.
It's all mindless froth but it kept me interested in spite of its flaws.
PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS - GREAT 
2005-03-17 - Dean Cage has so many problems -
He is trying to deal with the emotional trauma of causing his friends death.
He is mistakenly identified as a CIA agent at a set-up so the twit injects him with a revelutionary hallucinatory drug that ends up killing its victim.
Cage then explodes into action as he puts the make on the would-be kidnappers and goes on the run.
Hey, I still like that truck, especially those lights. Even I was hanging on for dear life.
It took his friend, Scott's sister, a while to piece together the clues to Dean's new problem. The fading in and out of his vision was a bit distracting but made for the realism of what he was seeing.
Oh yeah, his memories were helping to block the suggestions being made to him. And confusing his tormentors.
Finally, an actress I could really like in her role, she was not overpowering, but feminine and persistent in pursueing Dean to help bring him in safely and determined to save his life.
Where is that dang antidote?
I greatly enjoyed all the actors' in their roles and will be watching it again to see what I missed the first time around.
Will recommend but it is still just a matter of taste. I enjoyed it.
