Unstoppable Review
‘Unstoppable’ Tells an Inspirational Sports Story in Fairly Rote Fashion Besides its Two Leads. Jharrel Jerome and Jennifer Lopez impress as the teenage wrestler and his supportive mother, but the movie itself is pinned down by cliches. Opening in theaters on December 6th before arriving on Prime Video January 16th, ‘Unstoppable’ is just the latest challenger to enter the ring of sports biopics that take inspirational stories of overcoming big challenges with a charismatic real-life figure at their heart.
Unfortunately in this case, the movie also comes burdened with the sort of factory-tooled reverence and seen-them-all-before beats, never quite overcoming that baseline feel.
