In "The Taking of Pelham 123," Denzel Washington stars as New York City subway dispatcher Walter Garber, whose ordinary day is thrown into chaos by an audacious crime: the hijacking of a subway train. John Travolta stars as Ryder, the criminal mastermind who, as leader of a highly-armed gang of four, threatens to execute the train's passengers unless a large ransom is paid within one hour. As the tension mounts beneath his feet, Garber employs his vast knowledge of the subway system in a battle to outwit Ryder and save the hostages. But there's one riddle Garber can't solve: even if the thieves get the money, how can they possibly escape?
Armed men hijack a New York City subway train, holding the passengers hostage in return for a ransom, and turning an ordinary day's work for dispatcher Walter Garber into a face-off with the mastermind behind the crime.

OOPsSwearing is not a story and if you base a movie on that its not much at all. I don't hate this movie just because of they had one word to remember but because the story was bad the acting was bad. It was just lame and not much happened and then it ends. I think whoever made this should have to watch it and that will be there punishment..Score: 1/5
Epic ThrillerA great remake of a classic, that gets intense about 3 minutes in. Really fun and John Travolta is GREAT..Score: 4/5
Uuummmm.....There are many things that work against this movie, and a couple that work for it. For it: 1. The cast 2. It didn't deviate much from the original Against it: 1. The acting (Both Travolta and Washington have had better interpretations of roles). 2. It didn't deviate much from the original (Was waiting for some twist, something added, the screenplay not really good) 3. The language (well for those that complain about it, 1) it's an R rated movie 2) you've got based on a book, 3) when Travolta plays the "bad" guy there is going to be a lot of foul language. It is obvious that the "good" guy has to counter with something..Score: 3/5

One of the best movies in years!!Although this was not the best Denzel or Travolta movie ever made. It was close to the best in my opinion. Denzel played a different character then he usually does, but he still pulled it off. Travolta was the main focus in this one. He has played a similar role before (Swordfish), but he still convinced me that he is still one of the greatest actors today!! I recommend this to anyone that likes either Denzel or Travolta, but even if you dont...this movie is still very entertaining!!.Score: 5/5

Excellent thrillerI saw this movie twice I'm theatres. Both times were equally as exciting as the other. The way the plot was put together left me hanging on the edge of my seat, dying to find out what happens next. It has a great plot, and goes through all the events extremely well to give to an excellent underdtanding of what is going on. It all leads up to a masterful presentation of the riding action leading to the climax, and then gives a showstopping ending that leaves you thinking "wow, what a guy". I would definitely reccomend buying this movie. It has a great plot, great actors, great story, great display of events, and an ecxellent, top-of-the-line climax.Score: 5/5

Pretty intense & a good castGreat cast for this movie, but the plot is pretty predictable. I mean, c'mon, we've all seen Speed. Can't reinvent the wheel with this one boys. Too bad though, Denzel Washington is usually an indicator of an awesome movie. That being said, I was still glued to the monitor on the plane when this flick came on, it's got some non-stop action, no matter how predictable..Score: 3/5

Not very excitingDenzel Washington and John Travolta give above average performances, with some excellent dialogue between each other. At the same time, the movie had a bucketload of cheap and lame dialogue from the rest of the minor characters, especially those by the hostages. THe movie builds up to a disappointing climax and ending. I would wait for rental on this one..Score: 3/5
