Movie Review - “The Taking of Pelham 123”

REVIEW: We know this is a remake of the original 1974 film, however, though we are sure we saw the original, we don’t remember anything about it, and therefore will avoid making any comparisons. By itself, we felt this movie provided nearly everything one looks for in and entertaining movie; a successful blend of thrills, style, comedy, drama, suspense and action. Though much of the film is predictable “summer entertainment”, we still enjoyed the role played by John Travolta. He plays a guy on the edge so well! We give it [4-Stars]

SYNOPSIS: Very simply put, he story focuses on four criminals who hijack a subway car and demand one million dollars from the mayor of New York, threatening to kill one hostage per minute if their demands aren't met.
