And the points go toooo Travolta and Washington. The rest just mediocre.

I just didn't like this movie. Plot didn't make that much sense, especially at the end of the film with the final confrontation. That shit was pretty retarded. Was slow getting into it, and I didn't really care about any of the characters. Just boring.

"Are Tony Scott's films actually directed by Google Earth?" - Nick Schager

Not as good as it should have been considering Denzel was in it. The last 10 minutes were simply stupid.

+ avoid at all costs

I was expecting more to be honest.

Pelham 123 exploits urban anxiety without relief or understanding. Using exacerbation as entertainment, it is simply an I HATE NY ad.

Meh. I guess I was kind of entertained for most of the movie. Rent if bored.

I wanted to like this...but I felt both actors did not fit in this movie and the dialog back and forth seemed really lame...the movie as a whole had a few tension mins but it was bad

john travolta's magnificent scenery chewage cannot save bad films

great

Scott hijacks Sargent's taking, revamping it as a visually vibrant exercise in blithe modern thrill-making. This renders it viscerally effective but betrays little ability to overcome the natural deficiencies in Scott's superficial style, swapping Matthau's casually bigoted funnyman for Denzel Washington's Obama-era black icon, conforming to narrow present-day sensibilities that ensure we might never see something like The Taking of Pelham One Two Three proper again.

A mundane movie that Tony Scott tries to spice up with over-stylized editing. A ridiculous antagonist that only memorable quality is his over-emphatic use of the term "mother fucker." A moment where you could tell the writers thought, "Man we could use an action scene to make this movie more entertaining...let's make a pointless car "chase" scene with random crashes." Truly a forgettable movie.
