I just watched The Taking of Pelham 123 movie. It is a thriller movie which based on a novel written by Morton Freedgood and a remake of the original 1974 movie. It was about a group hijacker hijack a New York subway train, Pelham 123 and take the passengers as hostages to demand ransom from the New York City Mayor. One of the hijacker called Ryder (John Travolta) which is the mastermind talk to Walter Graber (Denzel Washington) who happen to be the subway dispatch that day and Ryder told Graber his demands. It is Graber that makes Ryder plan gone wrong. The hijacker never expect that Graber will be the subway dispatch that day. How the hijacker know about Graber? One of the hijacker used to a worker of New York Subway before he was jailed for killing people. Ryder main reason for the hijack was not about the ransom money. It was something else which the value is far more greater than the ransom money.

It was really a good movie to watch. Both John Travolta and Denzel Washington really bring out characters very well. John Travolta is very much suitable to act as the hijacker as he can bring that thrilling elements out of the character. Both actors give a very deep feelings and it really give a very deep impact on the movie. The story line is very engaging. During the whole movie, I can’t take my eyes and ears off the movie. I was very deep into the storyline and wanted to know what will happen next. There is some comedy elements in the movie that will make you laugh. All I can say, both John Travolta and Denzel Washington really deliver a very nice movie to us. I give Thumb Up for this movie and I rate it 8 out of 10.

Why not you go watch it in cinemas and feel the thrill of the movie.
