Unstoppable

My wife and I have a running joke about this movie. We saw it when we were dating, and she came out of the theater playfully angry because the film’s title was a misnomer. “Ah,” I retorted after she had explained herself, “It’s not the train that the title refers to, but to the friendship between the two leads. That was what was unstoppable.” We replay the joke about once a year. It tickles me.

Anyway, pointless personal anecdote aside, revisiting Tony Scott’s final film more than a decad...
