Needless to say, this is a remake. But it’s one of those remakes that work not only as a review of the work of Joseph Sargent, 1974, but because it succeeds in translating the screen that is 25 years difference between them. This time Tony Scott (Man on Fire 2004) has done a terrific job quite acceptable, but above all entertaining.

Who has not gotten into a suburban train? Either rail or air, the trains have become an essential element for public transport in any city that has at least one million inhabitants. It is impressive that despite this importance, few years have been made about this body that for most users only limited to tracks, drivers and vehicles.

Denzel Washington (Inside Man 2006) plays a coordinating flow of suburban New York. Their job is to provide real solutions to traffic problems on the roads as well as when and Pelham 123 begins to show signs of behavior out of the set, he is the one who communicates with the kidnappers of the train. These moments preceding communication between John Travolta (Hairspray 2007) and Washington show that privacy of any system of suburban trains from their control center. This will lengthen as we find references to how the trains work by emphasizing that knowledge of the flow is necessary for the mission of the hijackers to be out of the tunnel was filled with policemen.

If this journey through the bowels of public transport is not attractive enough, we have a very successful management of the claustrophobic environment of a driving cab and the operations center where both characters are. A steady hand in a very striking photograph can not be mentioned, since while the kidnappers are in dark environments, the taking of the city are full of light and colors. In addition to this work Travolta and Washington is nothing short of a delight. Not that it’s a duel of performances, but it’s very entertaining to see them interact, since despite not being physically able to convey their emotions to the viewer as they engage a loop, although it was forced to be both a confrontation with his fears and deepest longings.

Not to be confused. As no action movie or leave us a moment of respite, but it is not overwhelm the audience with a thorough exploration of the characters. Moreover, a number of circumstances that occur both within and outside the state are unlikely and other lack of consistency, but are justifiable for the sake of entertainment. In fact several of them are confronted by the same characters in the film, making sarcastic comments and full of irony to the presets and the hypocrisy of society in New York.

What is your biggest fault is an end for other conventional bet to give a moral lesson where “citizens” ordinary Americans who made mistakes but they do so for the sake of their families find redemption, while the bad are punished. He also detract from the exaggeration of the character Travolta, who seems to have forgotten to innovate and brings up a mosaic of all the characters clearly recognizable by any gangster movie buff, but this self-review is done in a convincing way.

Synopsis:

The story develops around the Pelham station, under the floor of New York, where some criminals have hijacked a train threatening to kill one hostage every minute if their demands are not met. Calls for a million-dollar-amount-now of course be multiplied, and the police manage to cajole and to gain insight to the type as long as possible.
