Tony Scott and Denzel Washington together have three
collaborations under their belt (Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, Deja
Vu), and given that I’ve enjoyed every single one of their outing,
there’s no reason why I shouldn’t with The Taking of Pelham 123,
especially with John Travolta contributing as an over the top
villain sporting mean tattoos, a goatee and a foul mouth. A remake
of a 1974 film by the same name, this one’s pretty much updated
with the fusion of the Wall Street fallout and plenty of New Yorker
tributes, from the mayor (James Gandolfini) to the average
salaryman Waler (Washington) earning his keep.
