Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

shirleyfuller This is a good remake. Is it as good as the original- depends really on which one you see first. But Travolta is menacing, and the film never outstays its welcome.

Floated2 The Taking of Pelham 123 is an enjoyable and fun thrilling heist thriller. It'snot so much a mindless action film as some may consider, but it does the job what audiences are looking for. Lead by strong performances from Denzel Washington and John Travolta, this train terrorism film clicks on all angles when we see the characters portraying and sparking back to one another. Although the ending may be predictable, the journey and overall suspense and thrills of the film is reason why this film works and is entertaining. The other reason is the chemistry of Washington and Travolta. The sci-fi and overall action in this film is greatly directed by Tony Scott. Surprised by a few laughs (many of which by John Travolta), this film is all around enjoyable and recommend for fans of thrilling action heist films.

Lola A I was looking forward to this movie for a very long time now and I must say that it was a bit disappointing. The story line is very predictable. One could tell from the beginning that Walter Garber will be the big great hero at the end of the movie. Ryder's character starts to develop in the beginning in the right direction and makes you curious about his reasons for doing what he was doing. It leaves the impression that maybe something personal and emotional, a wrong doing or an injustice has led him to respond in this wrong way. But, in the end the character development takes a complete disappointing turn. Ryder was doing all this because of money. So, overall the very end of the movie can be anticipated. Even the fact that Ryder's plan A will fail and a plan B is needed, is also what one would expect from movies like this. In terms of the message that the movie was trying to convey, I must say that all it got to me was that in the end the bad boys always lose.

vagg-fm Im not going to say much.My opinion is that the film was really good in terms of script and produced the action and intensity I was looking for but there were some things that totally ruined my experience.First of all, the music was awful and did not much at all with was being depicted from the screen. Really bad music selection.Secondly, there were parts on the film that the camera would - i don't know how to say it - "lagged", moving slowly, shaking and ruined the whole part. Its like watching a horror movie and at the point where the door slowly opens, the camera man shakes the camera for like 5 seconds and you miss everything.Travolta and Washington were really great in that movie and I believe that if the team behind the scenes was better, it could have hit an 7.5-8 overall.
