"The Taking of Pelham 123"

Nelson: Pam was unable to watch this movie with me and I couldn't wait any longer to watch something to blog for ya'll, so here we go. This movie has big stars in it, John Travolta and Denzel Washington, along with other big names in back up roles, but I didn't find much new here. There is some stylized quick camera shots in the first half of the movie, but basically it's the same old movie we've all seen before. Kidnappers take hostages and demand a ransom, there is another background ripoff going on as well but I was not particularly impressed with this movie. As I said, I had already seen this play out in other better movies through the years. I would not say it is a bad movie, but I cannot really recommend it either; if it is all that is left at the blockbuster then you might try it out, but don't expect to be wowed. I would give this movie 1.5 stars.
