Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

Watched on 21st June 2009
@ Downtown East

Story unfolds as a subway train in New York City, is very skillfully hijacked. The Hijacker is a "brilliant" yet hooligan looking John Travolta, while Denzel Washington plays the train network operator who happened to get embroiled in this whole fiasco.

This movie all in all is a narration of an incident. There are tiny clues here and there which sets me thinking of the reason for their actions. But there no conclusion, it's too open ended. The only way to enjoy this show is just watch it without any questions OR simply answer all the questions yourself.

I did the latter, Denzel is a righteous yet guilty person thus his actions. Travolta is just out to get a huge scoop under the blanket of chaos. He almost did, if not for a dumb New York Mayor who suddenly became SMART in the middle of the movie. That's amazing.. hahaa..
