Couldn't disagree with you more der_unglaub... i loved this movie i thought it was awesome!! denzel & travolta nailed their roles playing their parts to perfection especially travolta he was spot on as the villain. the story was great too tbh i loved the whole thing. i should mention i haven't had a chance to watch the first one yet but i will do at some stage. whether that makes a difference or not i dunno but i only rate a movie on it's own merits therefore i highly recommend this it's a great watch. i even bought the bluray the other day too.

_The Taking of Pelham 123_ is an engaging and thrilling movie with an interesting plot and great acting. The film centers around a hostage situation on a New York City subway train, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Denzel Washington delivers a fantastic performance as the subway dispatcher caught in the middle of the chaos, and John Travolta is also impressive as the ruthless hijacker. The two actors have great chemistry on screen, and their performances enhance an already strong script.

Pretty mediocre in my opinion. Didn't offer much substance or quality.

This movie is so laughable. Granted, I made the mistake of watching this immediately after watching the original, but whew is this thing a stinker. An enjoyable stinker, I suppose. I mean, watching what John Travolta did in the Robert Shaw role is hysterical. Shaw was calm, cool and collected. He followed his own set of rules and never lost it. Meanwhile, Travolta comes on screen having already lost it, and is a whiny, pathetic, self righteous asshole from minute one. He's instantly in love with Denzel, too. Oh and he yells, "lick my bunghole, motherfuckerrrrr" at someone. Bunghole!?! Really???

Having seen (and truly loved) 'Unstoppable', it's impossible not to see 'The Taking of Pelham 123' as a rather pale incarnation of that 2010 flick (which also has Tony Scott as director and Denzel Washington as lead!).

How strange that those two came together to make two very similar movies so cl More

Saw this one many years ago, probably when it came out on Blu-ray, and decided to give it another watch at random, and... pretty much lined up with from the first go around. Nothing amazing nor has any great twists, but the performances from Washington and Travolta made the movie worth the time. On More
