Is That........Why, John, It IS You!!


The Taking of Pelham 123
I must say, this was a very good film, both tense and exciting, I enjoyed it very much. It was no surprise to find out that it is a remake,; most good films now a days are. Denzel was his usual debonair self, playing the cool, collective man, no matter what the situation. Travolta on the other hand, was completely out of character and I liked it!! Yes, I've seen him as a villain on numerous occations: Broken Arrow, Faceoff, & The Punisher, to name a few. But this reckless bad boy act was cool, everything from the handlebar mustache and tattoo to the ranting of a maniac attitude. Hands down, it suited him well. Oh, and in case you haven't noticed: Travolta's getting old, but he's doing it well. For that, I would like to say: welcome John, as you join the list of really cool old guys like, Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood, and even Denzel Washington.
Awesome movie. Go and see it and if you have, go and see it again. Two thumbs are up on this one!!
