Unstoppable (I) (2004)
6/10
Exciting!
1 February 2011
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!

Fast Lane (2010)
5/10
Only worth for the cars and perhaps chicks
29 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Tonight I saw the movie I had been rejecting to see before. And that is with a reason - it felt kinda cheap ever since I saw the poster.

The soap-opera acting quality was expected for a car-action movie, so I suppose the actors have my forgiveness for that. The actors are all great-looking (especially the actresses), but that's pretty corny if you ask me.

Now, the cars are the best deal for watching this movie, but don't expect too much. No car chases in a car movie would be unforgivable! You need only two cars to make a good chase, but with so many in this movie, the combinations could be uncountable. Still, no car chase could be seen, which leaves a car lover bitterly disappointed.

I wonder if the director has seen his movie after his work was done. I mean, he had great cars, a suitable acting crew and some plot, why couldn't he make it more dramatic? Comparing to some more serious car movies, this looks like a 3-minute cartoon with cool chicks and nice cars.

After seeing this movie I feel like I saw a snapshot from a car fair.

If it were in school, the mark would be a "fragile D" with a note following: "You could do much better than this." 5/10
