“I used to be angry all the time. But I’m not angry anymore.” Prime Video has revealed an official trailer for a sports movie called Unstoppable, telling the true story of one-legged wrestler Anthony Robles. Based on a true story, of course, as most sports movies usually are. This first premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival, and it also played at Hawaii, Chicago, Montclair, Philadelphia, and Austin Film Festivals. Starring Jharrel Jerome (seen in Moonlight, “When They See Us”, “I’m a Virgo”) as Anthony Robles in another outstanding performance, Unstoppable is both an irresistible sports drama and a family story full of heart. In the wrestling circle and the locker room, he has to convince two tough coaches (Michael Peña and Don Cheadle) that his grit and potential are real. At home, he contends with an outspoken and loving mother going through some growing up of her own. In addition to Jerome, the cast includes Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, the real Anthony Robles, Don Cheadle, and Jennifer Lopez as his mother. Looks like an inspiring and triumphant story of proving yourself capable no matter the limitations or the odds. Enjoy.
