‘Unstoppable’ Trailer: Jennifer Lopez and Jharrel Jerome Get in the Ring for Amazon MGM’s Inspiring Wrestling Biopic

As a seasoned moviegoer with years of witnessing stories that span the gamut of human emotion, I must say, “Unstoppable” has left me truly inspired and moved. This film isn’t just about wrestling; it’s about resilience, determination, and the indomitable human spirit. Anthony Robles’ life story is a testament to the fact that adversity can be overcome with unwavering resolve.


The film ‘Unstoppable’ narrates the real-life journey of Anthony Robles (portrayed by Jerome), who was born without one leg but possessed an unyielding spirit and a resolute determination that allowed him to surmount the challenges and chase his aspirations. With the constant love and backing of his tenacious mother Judy (played by Lopez), and the motivation from his coaches, Anthony battles through hardships to earn a position on the Arizona State Wrestling team. Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle are among the stars featured in this inspiring tale.

The movie represents the first time behind the camera for Oscar-winning editor William Goldenberg, who has been recognized with multiple Academy Award nominations for his work on “The Imitation Game,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Seabiscuit,” and “The Insider.

Eric Champnella, Alex Harris, and John Hindman wrote the screenplay, inspired by the book “Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion,” co-authored by Robles and Austin Murphy.

In the movie, Anthony Robles (doubling as himself) showcases his wrestling skills and action sequences, earning the credit “Anthony Robles Double.” Additionally, he serves as a producer on this production. To maintain a secure work environment and provide productivity resources for everyone involved, accessibility coordinators from IndieVisible were hired to oversee the project.

The film ‘Unstoppable’ was created by the production company owned by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, known as Artists Equity. The producers of this movie are Affleck, Robles, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Andrew Fraser, Gary Lewis, and David Crockett.

In his glowing review, EbMaster’s main film critic, Owen Gleiberman, referred to the movie as a “trustworthy sports crowd-pleaser.” He specifically commended Lopez for what he believes is her most profound screen performance to date. Moreover, Jerome’s performance was highly praised as subtle yet powerfully intense: “He exudes a quiet strength, with eyes that radiate depth and intensity.
