"We all owe God a death"

When asked what The Taking of Pelham 123 was about I simply answered, Denzel Washington and John Travolta. To me it didn't matter what the film was about because the two brilliant actors starring would be worth the price of the free ticket to see this film. Don't hate - I got the free admission due to a mess up the first time I tried to see this movie. Any way, I was bound and determined to see this movie yesterday, a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

WHOA! Not sure if it compares to the original (never saw it), but this remake can stand all by itself. The story is good. I'm not buying the motive, or it's very unclear. So convince yourself - it is what it is. The acting is worthy to be used in an acting 101 class on this is how you do it. The cinematography is amazing. Sometimes I was not clear what I was watching. Some of the shots were out of the ordinary and hard to believe the way the intercuts were so perfectly cut. A man movie with a certain something - gorgeous men - for the woman.

I say go go go to see this movie. Make sure you get the right ticket to the right show though.

Ciao Y'all
