The Taking of Pelham 123

Mini-Movie Review
Rating: 2/5

Age R: Rated-R for violence
Release Date: June 12, 2009 (tomorrow) unless you're in a differen't time zone than me hehe
Thoughts:
Unless you're watching it for free or renting it when it comes out, I wouldn't recommend watching The Taking of Pelham 123. It's pretty lame.
Sure the movie keeps you in suspense wondering "oh man is he gonna kill someone else?!" but at the same time the story itself is just..bleh. The movie had it's jokes and moments but honestly it's not worth going to the movies for. Seriously, it's not.
The Taking of Pelham 123 is about a crazy guy (Travolta, love him very much but not enough to want to watch this again) who takes a train with quite a number of people hostage in exchange for $10,000,000 dollars, there's a bit more to the story but again, not that interesting. Garber (Denzel) is just a regular guy who ends up having to deal with this crazy fella.

More info:
The Taking of Pelham 123 is a remake btw of the movie by the same title from 1973. It's also based on the novel The Taking of Pelham One Two Three by Morton Freedgood.

Here's the trailer:


You might like it, I didn't, but you might. I'm just giving my opinion here.

Adios! :)

P.S-I gotta say, I think Travolta was pretty sexy in this one, sure he's 55 but still! hehe Just saying :D

Thanks for the warning! I like both of these actors, but I get the feeling my thoughts would be similar to yours.
