Saw this movie on Sunday. Denzel Washington and John Travolta both did a good job. The movie was directed in characteristic frenetic and loud style by Tony Scott. On the previous Friday night we re-watched the original version (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three) with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. The original story is slightly different, and is in a completely different style. I liked the remake, but far prefer the original. I won't say more, so as not to spoil it for anyone. Has anyone else seen the new version?

I did see the new version and found it to be quite good. It was interesting, stressful, and the acting was good. I saw the original advertised and thought about recording it. Now I wish I had!

I watched the original Sunday night after coming in from working in the yard. Not the sort of movie I'd ordinarily watch but I thought it was good (I did miss where the one guy in the tunnel came from though). Recognized Robert Shaw's voice right away. We saw the previews for the new movie at the theater this Spring. Looked pretty good too.

I didn't know there was an original. I loved the movie. Denzel, Travolta, and Gandolfini are a potent trio.

We just watched this tonight. Not a bad action flick. Denzel and John were really good as were all the supporting players but it was really there show.
