a5c7b9f00b In New York, four criminals led by the smart Ryder hijack the subway train Pelham 123, stopping the first car with nineteen hostages in a higher plane in the tunnel in Manhattan. Ryder calls the subway control center and the operator Walter Garber talks to him. The abductor demands ten million dollar and gives one hour to the delivery by the City Hall. The Mayor accepts to pay the ransom while the NYPD negotiator Camonetti assumes the negotiation. However Ryder demands that Garber, who was demoted from an executive position due to the accusation of accepting kickback in the purchase business of Japanese trains, continues to be his liaison with the authorities. Within the tense hour, Ryder empathizes with Garber and asks him to bring the money to the train.
In early afternoon, four armed men hijack a subway train in Manhattan. They stop on a slight incline, decoupling the first car to let the rest of the train coast back. Their leader is Ryder; he connects by phone with Walter Garber, the dispatcher watching that line. Garber is a supervisor temporarily demoted while being investigated for bribery. Ryder demands $10 million within an hour, or he'll start shooting hostages. He'll deal only with Garber. The mayor okays the payoff, the news of the hostage situation sends the stock market tumbling, and it's unclear what Ryder really wants or if Garber is part of the deal. Will hostages, kidnappers, and negotiators live through this?
Highest rating to this taut thriller involving a psycho (John Travolta) who has a grudge against the city government and society and therefore takes a train hostage with 18 passengers on board.<br/><br/>Denzel Washington also starsdemoted dispatcher who is under suspicion for taking a bribe.<br/><br/>My one flaw with this film is how a hostage negotiator would let Washington leave after he established a rapport with Travolta.<br/><br/>That being said, we have a very fast paced filmthe police zoom to deliver the $10 million ransom demanded by Travolta and his gang.<br/><br/>What makes the film so good is that with Washington being under suspicion, you think at times that he may have been in cahoots with the hostage taker.<br/><br/>The hostages themselves are pretty calm considering the gravity of the situation. Only some mayhem occurs when the train is left in motion unattended.<br/><br/>At a time like this, this may have not been the best time to make a film about this;however, it was made and it is exciting, a nail biter all the way to the unpredictable ending.
Its almostif Tony Scott and Denzel Washington just can't keep their hands off each other! And since their last outing 'Deja Vu' was such an epic fail, Pelham 123 didn't look at a promising, but is saved by its two leads! The first hour of this movie plays outa very tight, tense, ticking clock thriller. Washington and Travolta bring this fairly average affair to something much more appealing. Watching these two actors play off each other is the movies strongest point and there given a sharp script to work with. When the movies tense, the film really works but in the last 45 minutes or so it just takes a wrong direction and becomes your typical by-the-book action flick. Pelham almost becomes a comic book style blockbuster, and all the cringable one liners prevent this movie for being at all believable. <br/><br/>Many unnecessary and irrelevant explosions and car chases that just drive the audience away from the plot and the direction is really quite poor. Its great how they actually keep to the time, so you really feel involved in the situation, but many of the direction techniques just fall flat. The execution is also very week and unimaginative that you almost feel cheated. For the most part its a very enjoyable thriller, but the last act just drags out and there are many scenes that just weren't needed. Better than Tony Scotts other recent efforts, but he really needs to find something new. If your a fan of these race against time thrillers then its worth a watch, but it doesn't do anything original to the genre.<br/><br/>Overall: A train wreck without Travolta and Denzel. It's dumb, poorly directed, but for the most part a enjoyable thriller. 6/10 3/5<br/><br/>-Simpson reviews
Just plain silly.
Four armed men—Bashkim (<a href="/name/nm2963873/">Victor Gojcaj</a>), Emri (<a href="/name/nm2963717/">Robert Vataj</a>), Phil Ramos (<a href="/name/nm0350079/">Luis Guzmán</a>), and their leader, Bernard Ryder (<a href="/name/nm0000237/">John Travolta</a>)—hijack the lead car of a subway train in Manhattan. Ryder contacts MTA dispatcher Walter Garber (<a href="/name/nm0000243/">Denzel Washington</a>) in the Rail Control Center (RCC) and demands $10 million in ransom to be delivered in one hour or they will start shooting the 19 hostages, one for each minute the money is late. The Taking of Pelham 123 is based on the 1973 novel The Taking of Pelham One Two Three by American author Morton Freedgood, writing under the pen name of John Godey. The novel was adapted for this movie by American screenwriters Brian Helgeland and David Koepp. An earlier adaptation of the novel, <a href="/title/tt0072251/">The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)</a>, was released in 1974. A TV remake, <a href="/title/tt0140594/">The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1998)</a>, was released in 1998. Pelham refers to a local Manhattan train that departs from Pelham Bay Park. The "123" refers to the time that it leaves 1:23. The "taking" refers to a hijacking. After Garber delivers the money, the hijackers start up the train, having found a way to circumvent the dead man feature. They get off the train at the Roosevelt spur, a derelict tunnel built under the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The train continues forward, picking up speed until the passengers become alarmed and the authorities at the MTV conclude that no one is driving the train anymore. Fortunately, the train trips a red light and stops. MTV orders all patrol cars to converge at the Roosevelt spur, where they open fire on Bashkim and Emri. Garber follows Ryder, who has hailed a taxi in which he checks his laptop to find that he has successfully shortsold the market and invested in gold, earning a huge profit. Ryder hijacks a truck and follows Ryder's cab to the Manhattan Bridge where Ryder has exited his stalled cab. Garber catches up to him on the pedestrian walkway and confronts him with a gun. Ryder demands that Garber kill him before the police do and gives him 10 seconds to shoot. At the end of the 10 seconds, Ryder reaches for his gun, and Garber shoots him. "You're my goddamn hero," Ryder sayshe sinks to the ground. Later, while on his way home, Garber is stopped by the mayor (<a href="/name/nm0001254/">James Gandolfini</a>) who thanks him, informs him that the city will go to bat for him in the bribery investigation, and offers him a ride home in his car. Garber takes the train instead. In the final scene, he arrives home, a half-gallon of milk in his hand. The first drafts of the script faced the challenge of updating the novel with contemporary technology, including cellphones, GPS, laptops, thermal imaging, and a post-9/11 world in New York City. In December 2007, David Koepp, who adapted the novel for Scott and Washington said: I wrote many drafts to try and put it in the present day and keep all the great execution that was there from the first one. It's thirty years later so you have to take certain things into account. Hopefully we came up with a clever way to move it to the present. Koepp's drafts were meant to be "essentially familiar" to those who read the novel, preserving the "great hero vs. villain thing" of the original. Brian Helgeland, the only one receiving credit for the screenplay, took the script in a different direction, making the remake more like the 1974 film than the novel and,Helgeland put it, making it about "two guys who weren't necessarily all that different from each other." Whereas the novel is told from more than 30 perspectives, keeping readers off balance because it is unknown which characters the writer might suddenly discard, the two films focus on the lead hijacker and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority employee with whom he communicates by phone. The new version sharpens that focus until it's almost exclusively a duel between disgraced MTA dispatcher Walter Garber and manic gunman Ryder.<br/><br/>In the book and original film, Ryder is "cold-blooded and calculating", but in the 2009 film he is a "loose cannon willing to kill innocents, not out of necessity, but out of spite." Also Ryder, in the original film and book, is portrayeda normal looking businessman, while in the 2009 film he looks like he has adopted prison life, wearing very visible prison related tattoos and very laid back modern style of a biker. In the 1974 film, the main character is named Zachary Garber and is a lieutenant in the Transit Authority police; in the 2009 film, the main character is named Walter Garber and worksa subway train dispatcher. Ryder asks for $10 million dollars instead of the $1 millionin the original film and book and $5 million in the made-for TV movie. Ryder does not use the "Mr. Blue" nicknamethe original film does; it is implied that Ryder is a nickname.
