This is a remake but I didn't see the original so it's all good. That said, there are many things that are modernized and up to date - from some very nice graphics to an eye catching directing style (Director: Tony Scott) to internet access.
We really enjoyed this movie - from start to finish. Denzel Washington is wonderful as the 'ordinary' transit system control center worker. John Travolta is wonderful as the bad guy. He plays a guy who has more than one dimension and is interesting to watch. A nice script, fun and pretty stuff on the screen - hey, what else do you want in a summer movie?
Other notable performances - John Turturro, Luiz Guzman, and particularly James Gandolfini ('Sopranos') who plays the Mayor of NYC. He manages to build his character with not many lines and does a great job.
This one grabs your interest, provides the right degree of tension and action and story and keeps you going. We liked it alot.
Pueblo Cinemark was great today - fresh popcorn and we got to see Super Manager Shane during our visit. :)
Pelham 123 gets a 3!
