Movie No. 99 (2013): THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1 2 3

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)
Director: Tony Scott
Cast: Denzel Washington, John Travolta, John Turturro

This is a remake of the 70's classic, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. The basic plot of this film is the same as the original's. The major difference is that in the remake, there are interesting back stories thrown into the Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) and Ryder (John Travolta) characters in the remake. The back stories not only make the characters more interesting but also add spice to the overall feel of the movie. Modern technologies that are interspersed in some important scenes, including the overall special effects, make the movie more entertaining.

But I prefer the original.

Rating: 3.0/4.0
