"Life is simple now. They just have to do what I say."The modern Hollywood remake train continues unabated with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3; flash-over-substance specialist Tony Scott's reimagining of the crackling 1974 suspenser of the same name. 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.

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!".

"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."
