"Life is simple now. They just have to do what I say."

In a sense, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 is similar to riding the subway: it moves forward at a decent pace, hitting all anticipated stops ... read more

the original Taking of Pelham ONE TWO THREE starred Walter Mathau (Bad News Bears, Grumpier old men) and Robert shaw(From Russia with Love) in one of his best performances to date. However the original film was racy,funny, and even ironic and yet very truthful to what the viewer was seeing. it also had a very unique cast which included Julius Harris, Jerry Stiller, Martin Balsam, and Hector Elizon... read more

I know a lot of people will disagree but, I liked this movie. It had really fast-paced butt-kicking action all throughout. It doesn't stop for a sentimental moment at any point in the movie. If this movie were a human it would say: "BAM! I'm Pelham 123! I kick your ass from start to finish!". Although it was basically "Die Hard on a Train", it was suspenseful, action-packed, and John Travolta did... read more

"17.5. C More Tony Scottin ääriruma uusintaversio on yhtä rankka, kuin John Travoltan viikset, kaulatatuointi ja nahkatakki. Tunnelmaa tai realismia ei ole, eikä kyllä aavistustakaan mistään muustakaan, mikä teki alkuperäisestä hienon ja niin toimivan. Travolta huutaa ja kiroaa aika paljon."
