The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3



I have no idea where to start. This movie is about the high-jacking of a train. Why? Who would want to high jack a train; that, my friend, you will have to watch the movie to find out.

From the beginning it is obvious these high-jackers are not your standard criminals; they know something, something important. John Travolta as a villain, EXCELLENT! John Travolta as an asshole, WONDERFUL! John Travolta as a role model, no so much if you have kids that you want to aspire to more than a criminal.

Washington, who is a good guy that gets caught up on the wrong call has a internal battle between doing what's right and doing what his family wants. Will he risk his life to save a few people on a train, whom he has never met? Watch and see.

The back and forth wittiness and sarcasm between characters played by Travolta and Washinton keep you laughing. Sly remarks, inside jokes, and the "I don't give a f-k" attitude makes this a movie a must see.

Expert Says: 5 Stars; characters are awesome; plot is intriguing; a must see.
