Re: The Taking of Pelham 123
I saw it at WIQ. NOt a bad place, and very near the DLR. Again late comers being annoying, some even came at 7pm! What is the point of going when you've missed so much of a film, unless to kill time?

The camera work was annoying me by the end, made me feel sort of dizzy. to true about JT's neck, and I couldn't get over how DW looked like a right old man
8/10

Re: The Taking of Pelham 123
I went with my friend to this one. I really enjoyed it although I did feel that at times it was too predicable and at others unbelievable. ..it was still great, with a lot of laughs.
[spoiler]The cops took cars and motorbikes instead of helicopters - emergency planning procedures out of the window???
I could not believe that it took them so long to identify the culprits. When the feed appeared over the internet no one seemed interested in identifying the men involved. Thankfully they knew who one of the men was, so it seemed they didn't need to get stills and run them to identify anyone else...[/spoiler]
8/10 from me. Loved Denzel and enjoyed JT once I got over the swearing and blood

In "Imaging that", several members here said they dont understand the stock market bits. Surprisingly, no one complained about it in this movie although JT used more complicated strategies to make money!!!

Re: The Taking of Pelham 123
Just read of some of the comments and wow!! I keep seeing alot of high ratings of 8s out of 10 for this
!
Whilst on hols in Cuba on HBO Channel (?), I saw this film being introduced (don't know what it's called specifically) not so fully just behind the scenes thing but just interviewing JT and DW abit, Director etc, some clips of the actual film and I thought WOW WHAT'S THIS?!?!
So I couldn't believe there's free previews for this and I actually managed to get tickets for my BF and my friend to watch it this Tues.....HOWEVER
....my work colleague has gone on hols so I can't even leave like an hour early to watch this since no one be there to answer the phones etc....
....
I like JT since I was little because of Grease
but I never did like DW until I saw a film called Fire Under Courage....oh boooooooo!

Re: The Taking of Pelham 123
I recently watched the 1974 verson, and found it to be a really good film. Looks like this one could be too :)
Good news everyone I've invented a device that makes you read this in your head in my voice!

Re: The Taking of Pelham 123
Finally got to see this tonight as we couldn't make the other screenings.
Really enjoyed this - thought John T and Denzel W were excellent in their roles and whilst at times it was predictable I wanted to stay with it to see how the characters panned out especially Denzel.
A definite 8 out of 10 from us.
