   Critics consensus Despite a strong cast, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 suffers under the excesses of Tony Scott's frantic direction, and fails to measure up to the 1974 original. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

     • The Taking of Pelham 123 is perfectly rote summer entertainment, diverting and pleasing enough, but it's disappointing and ironic that a thriller set aboard a train ended up being so pedestrian.

   Jun 10, 2009 · They’re about behaving, not evoking. The story you already know from cable TV. There are a few changes: The boss hijacker is now an ex-con instead of a former mercenary. The negotiator is now a transit executive, not a cop. The ransom has gone up from $1 million to $10 million.

   Is the taking of Pelham 123 a good movie?

   • The Taking Of Pelham 123 is one of those films that does exactly what it says on the tin, offering a solid evening’s entertainment. Commendable acting and an engrossing first hour give way to some typical silliness later on, but the plot is well thought out and rattles along nicely before getting derailed.

   Why did you avoid the taking of Pelham one two three?

   • When “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” first appeared as a novel, I avoided it on the reasonable grounds that (a) there was no plausible way to hijack a subway train, and (b) if there was, it would be so obvious it wouldn't be interesting. The movie's plot inclines towards (b).

   The gang has a good, sound plan, not too complicated, and they almost get away with it. But the movie's appeal -- which is considerable -- doesn't depend on the plan or on the easily foreseeable plot. It depends instead on a nice feel for New York City and some fine, detailed performances.
