So is that good or bad? Few tickets per code so no hope unless you're quick off the draw, or few tickets per Total Film code, so lots remaining to be allocated via future codes - or both?

Here's hoping, then, as lots of us were disappointed. And no way is Crawley popular in any positive sense, so it must have been even worse in the really attractive locations.

The Taking Of Pelham 123

To see a trailer or rate this film, please click here »



John Travolta needs another Vincent Vega - another unusual role in a big film to revive his career. Will this be it?

Playing criminal mastermind to Denzel Washington's average joe, Travolta is perhaps taking a leaf out of his co-star's book - Washington won an Oscar in 2002 by playing against type as Training Day's villain. At any rate, the latter has a lot less riding on this film. His career is carefully planned, balancing meaty roles with popcorn movies, in which he obviously enjoys working with Tony Scott - this is their 4th film together.

The movie itself is a remake with a simple story: Armed men hijack a New York City subway train, holding the passengers hostage in return for a ransom, and turning an ordinary day's work for dispatcher Walter Garbe into a face-off with the mastermind behind the crime. It should prove to be solid entertainment, though Travolta might be disappointed if it's nothing more.

I waited patiently for the Total Film newsletter on Friday (supposed to arrive on Friday lunchtime but didn't arrive until 11:34pm last night :evil:) , and had sat repeatedly trying the code posted on here until it went live only to find all tickets for WIQ already gone. There must be some seriously quick people out there, or just weren't many tickets.

It looks like the WIQ screening is the only one anywhere near central London so doesn't look I'll be getting any tickets for this one :cry:

I am also on high alert for this Neil but I honestly doubt there will be any more released now as they normally come in batches.

We can only hope!

I managed to get tickets from the totalfilm set for Enfield.

I'm looking forward to this as I'm a huge Denzel fan, I just hope it lives up to the 1974 which is a classic, and not the 1998 version (which was pants).

I've read some reviews, Travolta doesn't get too much love from the critics in this film.
