Jennifer Lopez's Underdog Movie 'Unstoppable' Drops with 74% RT Score

The trailer has been released for Unstoppable. Unstoppable is a based-on-a-true story sports drama set to be released on Prime Video. It chronicles the tale of a wrestler named Anthony Robles who was born with one leg and who, despite his disability, went on to win a national wrestling championship in 2011 when he was competing at Arizona State University (ASU). Unstoppable is directed by William Goldenberg and written by Eric Champnella, John Hindman, and Alex Harris. It features a leading cast including Jennifer Lopez, Bobby Cannavale, Shawn Hatosy, Michael Peña, Don Cheadle, Jharrel Jerome, Mykelti Williamson, and Melissa Diaz.

Now, Prime Video has released a trailer for Unstoppable. The trailer first introduces Anthony, who explains that people only look at "what's missing" when they see him. A montage then shows a series of Anthony's wins in wrestling, and reveals his hopes to play the sport at the collegiate level. At first, the protagonist is only offered a spot at Drexel. He has big dreams to wrestle at ASU, and ends up trying out for the team as a walk-on. The trailer then unfolds a series of dramatic scenes that show a look at the tension in Anthony's home life.

What This Trailer Means For Unstoppable

Unstoppable Could Revive Jennifer Lopez's Rotten Tomatoes Record

The Unstoppable trailer gives a good look at Lopez in her role as Anthony's mother, Judy. Lopez has a mixed track record when it comes to Rotten Tomatoes scores. Her recent movies Atlas, The Mother, and Shotgun Wedding, for instance, all received rotten scores on the critics' aggregate platform. After its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), however, Unstoppable's reviews have been positive, receiving a 74% score among 27 critics. Several of these critics praised Lopez's performance in this role specifically.

The trailer then reveals the range of emotions that Lopez will have to portray in Unstoppable. On the one hand, she is her son's biggest cheerleader and supporter. On the other hand, her fierce advocacy for Anthony forces her into some harsh confrontations. It looks like said run-ins will relate both to her public and home life. As Unstoppable releases on Prime Video on January 16, 2025, it will be interesting to see how these tensions manifest.

Our Take On The Unstoppable Trailer

Its Main Star Is Also An Exciting Cast Member

While Lopez is the big name draw to the film, I am even more excited to see Jerome in a leading role. The actor broke out in Hollywood when he played 16-year-old Kevin in the Best Picture winning film Moonlight. The actor has gotten several roles since Moonlight, but is still on the rise in his career. As Unstoppable releases early next year, it will be fascinating to see Jerome build upon his existing penchant for great drama.

Amal Clooney Wore Optical Illusion Jeans Cosigned by Jennifer Lopez—Fall-Ready Styles Start at $44

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.

The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.

Clooney opted for a pair of medium-wash jeans with subtle fading (another Y2K reference, IMO). Her blues had an ultra-high waist—so high, in fact, that they appeared to hit at the ribcage. It’s the complete opposite of the controversial low-rise denim, so it’s a possible sign that the high-high waist is coming back, too. Not to mention, Clooney’s jeans had a slightly oversized fit from the thighs to the ankles, but it’s that flared hem that has all my attention; it’s taking me back to my middle school days when I’d wear my True Religion flares every single day. (No joke.)

It’s undeniable that Clooney’s jeans have that nostalgic flair (ahem, flare, wink, wink), but it’s also undeniable that celebs are clamoring to the style because it’s incredibly flattering. The blues basically act like an optical illusion, making legs look super long, especially when paired with a style that has an extra-long hemline and sky-high platforms á la Lopez; the singer is 5-feet-5-inches, but don’t you agree with me that she looks way taller in these jeans? Yeah, that’s thanks to the flares. The flare hem and longer inseams help create the look of legs for days, but add in a high-waisted cut, platform heels, and a crop top, and you’ll fool people into thinking you’re inches taller.

Leg-elongating factor aside, there’s no denying that flares are fun and nostalgia-inducing—and that’s exactly what I need right now. So, shop some more fun, funky flares from Frame, NYDJ, and Mavi below.
