Unstoppable: Take Tom’s action-adventure quiz

Denzel Washington and Chris Pine star in Unstoppable, a movie about a speeding train that’s, well, unstoppable.

With all the amped-up sound effects he uses and the pounding music on the soundtrack, director Tony Scott could make a stroll to the park exciting.

And the way he frames these massive trains (the way they dwarf the humans, and ominously vent steam from all sorts of unseen crevices), these trains are like mythic beasts – mechanical dragons – and this is all before they’ve even left the train-yards!

So imagine the excitement level … once our runaway train actually starts running away! Not to mention, it’s full of toxic fuel AND headed straight at a train-ful of cheering kids. You hardly need ramping up the energy level, but Tony Scott doesn’t know how to back off – you might say, he’s unstoppable, just like his train.

Let’s take a quiz. There’s this runaway train, carrying 30 thousand gallons of toxic fuel; it’s barreling down the tracks at 70 miles an hour and it’s headed straight toward:

A) a horse trailer full of horses
B) a train full of school kids
C) an impossible curve of tracks that go right over a half-dozen massive fuel storage tanks in the middle of a highly populated city.

Your answer? That’s right, all three. A, B, and C.
Will the “I’ve seen it all” veteran Denzel Washington and the “I already know all I need to know” rookie Chris Pine be able to stop this unstoppable train?

Well, THAT would be giving it away.

Let’s just say, Unstoppable is non-STOP action from beginning to end.
