The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) | EP 76

  • Summary

  • "Chaos reigns in the New York City subway system when heavily armed criminals, led by a mastermind named Ryder (John Travolta), hijack a subway train and threaten to kill everyone on board unless a large ransom is paid. Dispatcher Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) uses his extensive knowledge of the transit system in a bid to outwit the hijackers and save the hostages, but one question remains: even if the hijackers get their money, how can they possibly escape?"

    Guilty! I always have a bias for anything featuring NYC as a backdrop, especially any mention of Queens lol BUTT ... does all that plus Denzel being the good guy and Travolta being the (bad) bad guy save the 2009 remake of "The Taking of Pelham 123" from being more than just MID??

    Does having pretty blue eyes as a man disqualify you from being a convincing bad guy? Is any hostage EVER worth $10 million?? REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS ONE: IS AN UNEXPECTED $35K "LIFE CHANGING" MONEY???

    Imagine a modern day remake featuring subway riders and the "showtime!" kids all being taken hostage AND MORE on "The Taking of Pelham 123" 15th Anniversary Review - EP 76 of "¿Who Diss Been Watching?" - UP NOW!!!
