Initially I had reservations about going to see Pelham 123 and was taken in by online reviews that promised it would be a good ride - yes, pun intended. Unfortunately the movie doesn't quite live up to the glowing reviews; so many flaws and plot holes, where do I begin enumerating them? The entire premise of the remake is flawed from the get-go. If a hijacking like this happened today, any competent hostage rescue team would resolve it in minutes. In 1974, the year the original Pelham was made, such HRT forces didn't exist. Moreover, the train dispatcher (played by Denzel Washington) would not be negotiating with the hostage-takers. Nor would he be taking the law into his own hands

This was a mature and well made movie. Contrary to those who provided negative review about this movie I can say it is quite good, although I found the ending a bit weak, it could have been a better ending but still the movie was very current and realistic, with people losing money on the stock market and the changing concepts among people. Although a remake yet the characters were quite up to date and real. John Travolta with his wisecracks and Denzel Washington with his smarts make a good team together, yet the ending might have been more realistic as I mentioned above. This is a movie to see, better than many other shallow and meaningless movies. Jake Hagop Kalaydjian
