The Taking of Pelham 123
Better than I thought - beefhead87
I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. Denzel Washington was as good as usual and Travolta, playing a different role than usual, was surprisingly good and even funny at times. The suspense and dialogue was good, overall a very enjoyable movie.

Boring and Very predicatable - NevT
