At The Movies With Gooderz – The Taking Of Pelham 123

So I went to see The Taking Of Pelham 123 today. Good film, one of my favourite actors; Denzel Washinton plays the lead role and co-stars along side John Travolta playing a regular guy caught in an irregular situation. John Travolta’s character takes a New York subway car full of people hostage and wants 10 million dollars for the peoples safe return. Overall its a great film, Denzel and John have great on screen chemistry(even though they don't actually have a scene together until the final few scenes), they’re both excellent actors doing what they do best. The entire film is shown in real time, a technique rarely used but when it is used it works very well.

This is a great movie, great acting and a gripping story. Theres no spectacular special effects, no crazy plot twist, like I said earlier; just a regular guy caught in an irregular situation. This is a must see and probably one of the best films of the year.
