taking of pelham 123


the other 'we've got to stop this train!' movie with denzel in it!  with this and 'unstoppable' i'm starting to sense a theme... if they ever remake 'the great train robbery' with denzel he would have a train trilogy!
this is a remake of the 70s film, updated with denzel and travolta.  denzel is a man who works at the transit company and travolta is a man who is tired of what is happening to him in life and takes a stand by taking over one of the subway trains in new york.  the tension and back and forth between the two men as they start to understand each other's perspectives and points of view lead to an interesting showdown where you know who is the good guy, but the situation has you wondering if there even is a bad guy.
