The Taking of Pelham 123 (Bob says 1 out of 2)

1. Did I enjoy it? YES
Denzel Washington and John Travolta give adequate performances in this thriller about a terrorist who hijacks a train and will only talk to Washington's character. This film felt a lot like 24 lite, having the quick pacing of the hit TV show without as much excitement. Still, the leads do well enough to carry us through for one viewing, and the audience could do much worse.

2. Would I watch it again? NO
Ultimately, the film is pretty forgettable and is just another day at the office for its stars. For fans of this genre, I would recommend they follow the 24 TV show if they don't already.
