You can't just put a black and a washed up scientologist in a remake, and expect it to be a grand slam….you just CAN'T!

I like Denzel and Travolta i watched the movie and liked it.
It´s not better than the original but okay.

I heard the "F" word enough times in The Taking of Pelham 123 that I never need to hear it again for the rest of my life. People don't talk like that, especially Wall Street executives, which is what John Travolta supposedly played. I'll bet if a study was done on all the words in that movie, the "F" word gets more hits than the most common word, "the."

I loved the plot though they strayed somewhat from the book, the acting was fantastic, but the movie for me was ruined with unneeded profanity. Hollywood needs to get real.

Travolta is pathetic. Using his son's death to push selling his tickets is just beyond the pale.

I wasn't born when the original came out, but I saw it many years later and loved it.

When I heard about the remake, I thought that it could never measure up.

I give this movie thumbs up.

But how many thumbs? HOW MANY?

"Emphasizing tight telephoto compositions and ostentatiously abrupt variations of film stock contributes less to the film-viewing experience than he apparently realizes."

Heh. Beautifully understated takedown. And so true. In my opinion – and I know this is controversial – his brother Ridley isn´t much better.

this remake just didn't need to be made. It doesn't improve on a classic movie. There's no reason to waste $10 to see it.

My God was the acting horrible. I saw a screening in NYC. The Tall highjacker was absoulutely horrible. The short one I actually liked he was a bit mysterious and the way he got killed was absolutely perfect. But the movie was ahhhhh.
