John Travolta makes a good bad guy...yet again. Denzel Washington makes an, unusual for him, unconfident hero.

The Taking of Pelham 123 is a decent action thriller, but manages to fall well short of the original. What saves it in the end is the fact that Tony Scott and Denzel Washington has a special relationship that usually ends up in somewhat watchable movies.

Not as good as the original, but still good enough to watch when it comes up on the TV.
