‘Unstoppable’ Review: Jharrel Jerome and Jennifer Lopez in the Rare Sports Crowd-Pleaser You Can Believe In
Jharrel Jerome is quietly compelling as Anthony Robles, the one-legged wrestler who fought the odds to become a college champion.
Anthony, a senior from Mesa, Ariz., played by the superb Jharrel Jerome(who was Chiron’s love interest in the second segment of “Moonlight” and took over voicing the role of Miles Morales in “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”), is getting ready to compete in the championship match. It was directed by William Goldenberg (his first feature), the gifted film editor who edited “Argo” and “Air” and (with Dylan Tichenor) “Zero Dark Thirty,” and it was produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company, Artists Equity. Jharrel Jerome gives a quiet performance, and we’re so used to a certain level of bluster in movie sports heroes that, at first, we register that quietude as a recessive quality, as if Anthony’s missing one limb had made him serious and circumspect.
