A short note on The Taking of Pelham 123


It was fun during the parts that took place beneath the ground, the action above ground was too Tony Scottsian if you ask me, his hyperkinetic style is starting to wear on my nerves. And there were some moments of ridiculous decisions on the characters parts, which I blame on Brian Helgeland, he is better than that usually.
The acting was ok, nothing special, it would have been more interesting to see the actors switch roles I think.

In the end, the original was better acted, better directed and had a much better ending.
