Directed by: Tony Scott
I don't agree with remakes.
The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3 is a remake of the 1974 classic with Walter Matthau as "Lt. Garber", played now by Denzel Washington. John Travolta's character "Ryder" wasn't in the original and is a kind of composite of the original gang of bad guys, all code named a different colour (this film was the inspiration behind the code names of Tarantino's robbers in Reservoir Dogs)
It's Denzel Washington as another cop and John Travolta as another bad guy. There's bound to be some seriously intense scenes with Travolta yelling as a madman and Washington showing off his superior intellect and cop instincts. Nothing against Tony Scott, but if you want to see something really special, watch the original. Matthau as a detective is excellent.
