Product Description Starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta, this film is about a New York City subway dispatcher's whose ordinary day is thrown into chaos by an audacious crime: the hijacking of a subway train. desertcart.com John Godey's 1973 novel The Taking of Pelham One Two Three boasts a suspense situation so surefire that even the directorial bad habits of Tony Scott can't ruin this latest movie version. Four armed men seize a New York City subway train, isolate one car, and threaten to start killing passengers if a ransom isn't paid within the hour. The ransom was a million dollars in the book and also in Joseph Sargent's solid 1974 movie, in which Robert Shaw played the mercenary leading the hostage takers and Walter Matthau was the growling transit cop trying to outsmart him. In 2009, the title has gone digital--The Taking of Pelham 123--and inflation has jumped the asking price to $10 million. Where Shaw's menace was steely, John Travolta opts for manic, and shamelessly has a blast in the master villain role. His adversary, cagily underplayed by Denzel Washington, has been upgraded in civil-service rank but also demoted on suspicion of taking a bribe. This colors the dynamics of the dialogue between Washington at his control-center console and Travolta on the motorman's microphone aboard the stalled train. So far, so reasonably good. But the director's trademark tactics keep getting between, well, everything. From the get-go, the visuals are subjected to pointless and irritating stutter effects, speeding-up/slowing-down, gratuitous camera movement, and the interposition of dirt- or light-smeared panes of glass between the camera and people we'd appreciate a clear look at. The 1974 movie settled for one police car being wrecked as the ransom is rushed uptown; Scott requires multiple collisions, each the occasion for police cruisers taking Lethal Weapon-style flight. The hostages in the earlier film were wittily individuated, a multicultural group portrait of the city at that mid-'70s moment; the ones on Scott's train--and also Travolta's fellow perpetrators, including that wonderful character actor Luis Guzmán--barely register. On the upside, John Turturro and James Gandolfini shine as two guys who (like the actors themselves) are very good at their jobs—respectively playing a hostage negotiator and His Honor, the mayor. The screenplay by Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Mystic River) strives intelligently, if formulaically, to add new dimensions to the main characters and to offer its own gloss on the current economic meltdown. --Richard T. Jameson Stills from The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (Click for larger image) Review: Good quality - Nice item good price. Review: Well done from Start to Finish - I missed the original make of this film and it's probably for the best. This film was excellent from start to finish. Sure there were a few rough spots but not one worth reducing the rating number. It is difficult discussing a movie without exposing major parts or the plot so I won't. It is just as hard to discuss events in any movie and have to use the old strawman exposé. All weasel words aside. This is an action and drama filled flick with some of the best acting I have seen in some time. I appreciate skilled actors performing their roles to perfection and that is the case here. One element that would cause me to downgrade this movie is its Blu-ray format. Like anyone else who has a blu-ray player we expect the very best in audio and video coming off the screen and out of the speakers. That is not the case here or at least is not the case with my player for this film. We read that Blu-ray is 6 times better than DVD. I would love to see how that number was derived. It is 6 times better than what? It is not better by any factor for this movie. My other Blu-rays are far better so I am at a lost. I think it could be said that a purchase of this movie in DVD at a cheaper price will yield similar if not identical results. If anyone knows what the difference is I sincerely would like to know. Enjoy!

Dramatically Powerful Portrayals
I confess that I just watched this film The Taking of Pelham 123 after my husband mentioned to me that he has watched and liked a 70s version of this film. I am very glad to have watched this film as there are many twists and turns throughout. The Taking of Pelham 23 features the plot of Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) dramatically having his life changed when Ryder a.k.a Dennis Ford (John Travolta) decided to hijack the train route that Walter Garber was assigned to. Garber’s boss John Johnson (Michael Rispoli) and Lt. Camonetti (John Turturro) try to take over for Garber when his shift was over but he becomes a focal point of the a very dangerous situation whether he wants to or not after Ryder insists on speaking with Garber. Of course, there are other characters who played important roles in this The Taking of Pelham 123 film. I do feel that multiple actors and actresses contributed to this film in different ways. However, I admit to being undecided between which acting portrayal was my most favorite from this film and I am going to have to leave others to decide that as I feel that both Denzel Washington and John Travolta gave brilliant reenactments of their personas even though both men appeared to be each other’s character foil.

Better than the original
Usually hard to do but this movie manages it. Washington is brilliant (as always) and Travolta gives - in my opinion - his best ever performance as the psycho hijacker. Worth the watch.

Film: USA 2009 im Vertrieb von Sony Genre: Thriller, Action, Heist Regie: Tony Scott Haupt: John Travolta, Denzel Washington, Luis Guzman, John Turturro, James Gandolfini Budget: 100 Mio $ Boxoffice: global 150 Mio $ Kino VÖ Deutschland: 24.09.2009 Heimkino VÖ Deutschland: 25.02.2010 Freigabe: Ab 16 Spezifikationen: Codec: AVC AR: 2.40:1 Laufzeit: 106 min Ton: DTS-HD MA 5.1 (dt, en, it) Inhalt: Der, wegen Bestechung, degradierte Fahrdienstleiter der New Yorker U-Bahn, Walter Garber (D. Washington) in dessen Schicht die von ihm betreute U-Bahn Linie entführt wird von Ryder (John Travolta). Dieser fordert innerhalb einer Stunde 10 Mio$ Lösegeld. Der Bürgermeister (James Gandolfini) willigt ein. Ryder will nur mit Garber verhandeln, was dem FBI Agenten Camonetti (John Turturro) überhaupt nicht passt. Als dieser versucht einzugreifen sterben die ersten Geiseln. Walter Gabor wird von Ryder stetig tiefer in die Situation gezogen, bis hin zur persönlichen Geldübergabe. Mit allen Mitteln und den detaillierten Kenntnissen des U-Bahn Systems versucht Walter Gabor die Situation zu meistern und vor allem zu überleben….. Der Film ist jetzt 10 Jahre alt. Ein Grund ihm mal wieder auf die Pelle zu rücken. Die BluRay gibt’s bei Amazon für kurz über 6 Euro, ein Preis, bei dem man nichts falsch machen kann. Ich hatte den Titel bisher nicht als BD in der Sammlung, daher freute ich mich für diesen günstigen Preis aufzurüsten. Tony Scott’s Thriller ist hervorragend gealtert. Einige Arten der Kameraführung (z.B. stetes Kreisen um Personen) zum Spannungsaufbau finden sich heutzutage nicht mehr. Es macht aber Freude diese wiederzuentdecken. „Die Entführung der U-Bahn Pelham 123“ ist ein atemloser Hochglanzthriller, der auch nach 10 Jahren anstandslos funktioniert und zu unterhalten mag. Selbstverständlich liegt dies nicht nur am Regie-Stil von Tony Scott, sondern auch an seinen Hauptdarstellern, John Travolta und Denzel Washington, die ihre Rollen beide glaubwürdig und mitreißend darbieten. In Nebenrollen überzeugen Stars wie Luis Guzman, John Torturro und James Gandolfini. Der Blu-Ray merkt man ihr Alter nur an der Amaray Hülle an: Die BD ist von 2010 und das BD-Logo ist noch silbern geprägt. Die Hülle ist dick und stabil. Die VÖ war ja noch in den Anfangsjahren der Blu-Ray und es wurde sich noch mehr Mühe gegeben als heute. Die BD ist bereits AVC codiert (durchschnittliche Übertragungsrate 20 Mbps) und liefert ein entsprechend erstklassiges Bild ab. Geschaut auf einer 100“ Leinwand mit einem UHD-Player und Projektor und entsprechendem Upscale war ich von den Farben und Kontrasten einfach nur begeistert. Nichts deutete auf das Alter des Films, bzw. der VÖ, hin. Es ist auch diverses Bonus-Material enthalten, welches ich mir nicht bis ins Detail angeschaut habe. Die Sachen, die ich sah, z.B. mit Tony Scott, waren Interessant und gaben gute Einblicke in die Produktion. Die BD hat ein Wendecover, ohne FSK Logo. Meine Empfehlung: wer den Film noch nicht kennt, aber auf rasante Thriller steht, sollte ihn sich unbedingt anschauen. Wer den Film bereits kennt, dem sei empfohlen ihn sich mal wieder anzuschauen. Das 10-jährige Jubiläum bietet dafür genau den richtigen Anlass. ;)
