A smart script poorly developed!- January 22, 2010 Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) Wesley Snipes is a 3 Charley a sort of special super agent, trained by the Pentagon for overseas risky missions. He has played hard in Panama and Irak, but when an unexpected, sorrowful and horrid incident happened at Bosnia, his memory preserves every single detail about the criminal murder of his best friend Wilson, who was going to be his future brother in law.
So when he returns to work with his fiancée, we will be aware Wilson was implied into a web of international profile with a lethal weapon to be used, a powerful chemical device, a powerfully and deadly hallucinogen who distorts and eventually fries your brain in just six hours. Snipes will be mistakenly traced by this gang who is absolutely convinced he knows about this dangerous device.
Recommended for a rainy weekend.
Unstoppable November 30, 2009 Bessie E. Bennett Great movie. Colud leave out the bad language and some of the violence. Overall it had a fgood plot and excitement.
Unstoppable December 18, 2008 C. A. Luster (Burke, VA USA) Not a great movie but the cast makes up for this B actioner with Wesley Snipes. When ex-soldier Snipes is injected with a halucinagenic drug he relives a bad mission in Bosnia making it difficult for those trying to sell the drug. They must try and cover their tracks as the CIA closes in on their deal. Many recognizable faces in this well paced movie. If you enjoy action movies I suggest you rent it and you may find it worth owning. If you enjoyed this catch "Terminal Velocity"

Same plot as every other movie. November 7, 2007 C. Merced (Stamford, CT and sometimes in Puerto Rico) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Same plot as every other movie. Snipes is a cop/soldier/person that can fight/etc. Someone is trying to kill Snipes for some reason. Snipes fights a lot, blows up things and uses guns. It was boring and not well acted. The plot has been overused and the acting is not very good. This may be one of Snipes worst films. Thank God he now has the The Blade Trilogy (Blade/ Blade II/ Blade: Trinity), otherwise we would be seeing him in a lot Movie-to-TV or DVD movies.
Snipes has some really good movies (Passenger 57), Unstoppable (also titled Nine Lives) is one of those movies he should have never chosen.
More action would have earned more stars June 20, 2005 P. Fry 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The movie plot looked so tired and dumb that I assumed there would be a lot of good ass-kicking and people getting their heads blown off. So I rented it. To be sure, there were some cool fights, but long, tedious scenes of the "top bad guy" yelling at his inept henchmen and plot over-development kept the fireworks from happening until the end and even that was a little weak and stunted.
The plot device that kept getting in the way was the hallucinagenic drug theme. Snipes' character, Dean Cage, is injected with a drug that makes him believe he's in a past combat situation and his friend is in danger. Any suggestion is automatically believed - at one point he's told "You're on fire" and immediately we see his legs burst into flame. That was sort of neat, but they bang on this drum and rely on the theme that Cage is a poor hapless dupe so much - so sad for a renter who expected to some serious ass-whooping. Should have read some other reviews first, I guess!
