Unstoppable (2024) - MOVIE REVIEW
Description
Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning for a review of the film Unstoppable, a remarkably inspiring true story Anthony Robles, a man born with one leg and a dream to win one of the biggest wrestling competitions in North America. This film doesn't officially hit Prime Video ('wide release') until mid-January so, because of that, I wasn't entirely sure whether to drop this review now but I thought I'd get ahead of the curve. The film just started its limited release in only a few countries, including the UK so I was able to see it just a little early. Is this a sports movie worth watching? Find out in this review!
