The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

New Release Tuesdays Presents:

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
This is the latest from Tony Scott.
I like Tony Scott's style in most of his films.
This was okay. Nothing to make a big deal out of.
It is par with Dejavu.
Denzel Washington doesn't play the usual role.
And surprisingly, Travolta's performance was also good.
I have not seen the original, so I wouldn't be able to compare.
This definitely kept me entertained.
I like some of the great visuals.
The casting of James Gandolfini as mayor was perfect.
Can't go wrong with Luis Guzman and John Turturro either.

Don't expect good stuff like True Romance or even Man on Fire,
this is just another average Tony Scott film.
