TAKING OF PELHAM 123, THE(2009)
Pretty typical hostage movie with John Travolta as the baddy!
Main difference in this one is the location, a subway train
in New York!! I would probably have rated this one highter
but for the prepostreous situations that come up!! B
From IMDb.com:
Ryder (John Travolta) leads a four men team including Phil
Ramos (Luis Guzman) to hijack a subway train in NYC. Walter
Garber (Denzel Washington) is a dispatcher. Ryder demands
$10 million in an hour or else he'll start killing hostages.
Vincent Camonetti (John Turturro) is the NYPD hostage negotiator.
James Gandolfini plays the mayor. It turns out that Walter
has been demoted and about to be suspended for taking a bribe.
Director Tony Scott is pulling out all the stops. He's
pumping up the music. He's doing the energetic edits.
There's the clock countdown. Travolta has his villainy
getup including the douche mustache, the tats, and his
crazy attitudes. Denzel is dressed down a little and
that's a good thing. Turturro is there to pump up the
frustration. Tony Scott is an expert at this. The
artificialness does bother me a little, but it's
still a well made movie. - SnoopyStyle
