Unstoppable

Jerome and Lopez build an undeniable chemistry that powers the movie, and it wouldn’t work at all unless Jerome wasn’t excellent as well. He is.

I fear this straightforward telling of Anthony Jerome’s life story will be too “ordinary” to make waves during awards season, but that’s OK: I’m pretty sure moviegoers will approve

It's kind of a paint-by-numbers sports movie, but I do appreciate that it is not overplaying the uplift.

The movie is keyed in to struggle and triumph, and on those narrow terms it’s a success.

A lackluster biopic.

Audiences will be rooting for Anthony, thanks almost entirely to Mr. Jerome.

Every underdog will have his day, but Unstoppable is a glossy, elemental play on familiar impossible obstacles to overcome, except there's no investment for us to feel much when it's done.

“Unstoppable” doesn’t pin an unbelievable story. But it certainly makes you want to see it turn out well. Raise your hand for this one.

The real Anthony Robles is absolutely an inspiration, and the movie about him is serviceable enough to do him reasonable justice thanks to Jerome’s rock-solid performance and the steady hand of director William Goldenberg.

Jerome and Jennifer Lopez bond playing mother and son in a film that’s truly an inspiration for all aspiring athletes. William Goldenberg keeps it real with a tight hold on the script and in the ring.
