The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 movie is a thriller that grabs you from the word go. John Travolta and Denzel Washington, two of Hollywoods most famous actors, star in this exciting film which is a 1974 movie remake. Tony Scott, the director of this movie, has made a few changes to the story, giving it a personal treatment that adds much to the movie in terms of suspense and nervous excitement.
The movie starts with Denzel Washington, who plays Walter, working in New Yorks subway control center. He notices that the Pelham 1 2 3 train has come to a halt for no particular reason and tries to communicate with the train driver using a radio.
Meanwhile, the character of Ryder, that is played by John Travolta, has taken control of the Pelham 1 2 3 train and is holding the train and its passengers as hostages. He demands $10 million in an hour from the mayor of New York and threatens to kill one hostage every minute after the time given to deliver the money is up.
Both Travolta and Washington deliver winning performances throughout the movie. While Travolta comes across as a genuine sadistic and intelligent villain, Washington brings a low-key geeky character to life.
Another great performance in the movie was by supporting actor John Turturro who plays the role of Officer Camonetti, the police negotiator. He plays his short role to perfection, (as Ryder only wants to negotiate with Walter and wont talk to anyone else).
Throughout the movie the action scenes are intense and the movie grips you as you keep wondering if one of the hostages is going to get killed or not. The movie also manages to balance itself well walking the line without going over the top and maintaining a realistic approach.
