Hahaha that's pretty good. A little half-assed, but pretty much sums up this movie.

i made a joke after seeing the trailer about it being Speed 3, but then i was very shocked to check Rotten Tomatoes and see it has one of the highest reviews ratings of the year - over 80% positive.

Yeah, the critics are desperate to give a good review/really fucking stupid.

But did ThePlaylist like it?

"We liked it, but didn't love it. Depending on how it does on opening weekend, we will change our feelings on it. If it does well, it didn't have a right to and it's mere fluff, but if audiences avoid it, they're obviously just not as smart as we are here at ThePlaylist. At the end of the year, if people remember it, we will have forgotten it, if people have forgotten it, we'll be sure to remind them about one of the best films of the year they may have missed and not given a chance. Stay tuned!"

Unstoppable
Why this got so many awesome reviews I will never know. What a horrible action film. Just no good on any level. Cliched and sad. Kind of sad that Denzel was in this but he does what he can in this.
