The taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3

I don?t have a lot to say about The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3. The opening sequence is very stylistic, and John Travolta and Denzel are cool as always. The ending is a little blah, nothing special for a film set in NYC, but the sounds of the subway are dead on realistic.

There is a shocking car crash in the middle of the film, as police rush to deliver ransom money. The best character in the film is the mayor played by James Gandolfini as not quite sleazy, but not quite likable either.
