The Taking of Pelham 123

I befriended this movie when I heard about the sudden demise of John Travolta's teenage son which resulted in John not attending the promos of the movie. The movie which is a remake of the 1973 flick of the same name strikes a special chord with the audience right from the first scene. Denzel is shown seated in his Console in the New York Subway control centre. A calm figure as opposed to the would be hijackers who are shown entering the tube station to capture Pelham 123 with disturbed faces. The movie moves forward based on the conversation between Travolta and Denzel Washington. They talk about life, death and fate. Through these conversations they both discover each other and they sense kind of similarity in their life patterns. They hate the system and they want to have their revenge. Denzel is already is charged with charges of bribe.

It was a treat watching Travolta and Denzel on the screen. Their acting chemistry is great between them.
