Pelham 123



I went and saw Pelham 123 this week end. Pretty good stuff. Hard to go wrong with John Travolta (bad guy) and Denzel Washington (flawed good guy), and James Gandolfini though. What starts out to be a regular day at work for Washington's character turns out to be any thing but. Travolta is pretty cool as a smarter than he appears hijacker. If you have an objection to strong language you might want to miss this one. Other than that it is not too bad a flick.




This is a remake of a 1974 film that starred Walter Mauthau (The Odd Couple, Bad News Bears, Grumpy Old Men), Robert Shaw (Jaws, The Sting) , Martin Balsam (Murray on Archie Bunker's Place), Hector Elizondo (Chicago Hope, Runaway Bride), and Earl Hindman (Wilson from Home Improvement) and also a 1998 made-for-TV movie.

I give this three Floyd's
