William Goldenberg, the Oscar-winning editor behind 'Argo,' is taking a leap of faith, stepping into the director's chair with his debut film, 'Unstoppable.' This biopic tells the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles, a wrestler born without a right leg who defied the odds to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. But does this foray into directing mark a triumphant victory or a risky gamble?  Goldenberg's journey to directing is a bit like his own film's underdog story. He admits to being a late bloomer, even in his passion for ice hockey, which might make you wonder - what's the driving force behind this career shift? Was it simply a matter of time, or was there something more compelling that lured him away from the editing room? 

The film boasts an impressive cast, including Jharrel Jerome, Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle, Bobby Cannavale, and Michael Peña. It's clear that Goldenberg has assembled a talented team to bring Anthony Robles' story to life. But how much of this story will be truly authentic?

But how will this separation affect the film's promotion and reception? Will audiences find it difficult to separate the actors' personal lives from their on-screen portrayals?'Unstoppable' arrives at a time when audiences are increasingly seeking stories of hope and resilience. Will Goldenberg's film deliver on this promise, or will it fall short of its potential? Only time will tell. Only time will tell. time will tell.
