Unstoppable

Based on the true story of wrestler Anthony Robles whose goal is to become Nationals Champion despite his disability. The film stars Jharrel Jerome as Anthony Robles. Jennifer Lopez plays his Mom Judy. Don Cheadle is his college wrestling coach Shawn Charles. The performance by Jerome and Cheadle were excellent. The rest of the cast were just average to be honest including Jennifer Lopez. I found this film about an inspiring story less than inspiring due to the lack of emotion I felt. A film like this should make you want to stand up and cheer and maybe go out and do some crunches or run around the block. You know like one of the Rocky films or Hoosiers or Vision Quest. A training.montage with great music would have helped. While it's not a bad film it's far from great.

This movie did not just dive into the true life story of an individual, This film found a way into my heart. This movie has an extra special standout role with Jennifer Lopez. Her performing seems to be award-worthy. When the right cast comes together and you have a director who understands the message of the movie there's truly no denying that this movie shows that movie telling should be about stories not just about special effects. A Movie should be about storytelling and this truly tells a great story. I would recommend anyone to watch this movie because it shows that with determination anything is possible.

I enjoyed this movie. I thought the storyline was pretty good and the acne was fantastic. But the cinematography.... Way too much camera shake, even when it's not necessary. And it feels like the cinematography was shot with an iPhone. Other than that, no real complaints on this movie.

You don't see too many motivational type movies like this anymore. The story of a one legged athlete who strives to be a national champion is pretty darn cool. Kinda has a karate kid type vibe.

Worth watching if you haven't already seen it. But not really the kind of movie I would come back to watch to twice, unless it was with somebody else who haven't seen it, who wants to watch it with you.

Unstoppable Seen Unstoppable in an early preview in the theater and love it. I want to share with you the from all the major roles were excellent!

Storyline was fantastic- enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions.

Jharrel Jermone in the lead role draws you in to his sadness, happiness, and great will. Jennifer Lopez plays the mother with an extremely convincing. When the movie ended, I was physically worn-out from all the action/powerful scenes. This is based on a real story. The movie moves very quickly and great watching the plot unfold. This is based on a real story.

Don't let movie get away.

I highly recommend this film to all ages.

The movie is good on its own. But feels a lot like numerous other inspiring sports movies. This one feels a lot like 1993's Rudy, even having a scene where the team rally around the main character staying on the team. It wears its numerous inspirations on its sleeve, including numerous references to Rocky.

The first half of the movie is rushed and kind of dull as it speeds through the events of his life. It goes through things so quickly that it lacks emotion. It's the second half that picks up and makes it worth it. This is when we really see him wrestling and focuses on a rival to defeat. It's the finale that really makes the movie worthwhile, making it just as tense and nail biting at Rocky or The Karate Kid.

The effects to make Jharrel Jerome appear to have one leg is really convincing and Jerome pulls it off. He's good when focusing on the wrestling aspect of the movie, with the real Anthony Robles standing in during certain shots. But he's not so good at the interpersonal drama, with his serious face often looking more confused. The rest of the cast are all good. Jennifer Lopez, Michael Pena, and Don Cheadle all give their usual terrific performances.

Real life sport biopics are inspiring and all, but they need to find a story that is more than just another Rocky or Cool Runnings.
