@all Laughing out loudly I was too overwhelmed to elaborate yesterday.

Did you see how John Travolta acts crazzyyy, true performance right there; not to mention Denzel's choice of strong role model characters.

I've often wondered what makes a good movie - is it the director, the plot (screenwrighter), cinematography, score (music), actors...

In this movie, the acting stood out! But when I note that the director Tony Scott (Ridley Scott's younger brother) directed The Last Boy Scout, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the state, Dejavu... I'm convinced the Director needs to be given credit.

Surprising the movie was judged quite harshly in the US.

Great acting bt the storyline never impressed. That nigga sellout led to the death of many, yet he was depicted as the hero. No wonder it flopped. Though it may have had a similar theme to the great Con-air (the good v/s the bad), it never came as close in entertainment value, since the exaggerated role of the black guy spoilt everything.
TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

@ smano, the expendables, they really tried to bring back Stallone and Schwarzenegger (especially him), but that church scene was weak....but all in all, the movie was good.

I hated Pelham 123..

Tell me, why did they need to use vehicles to deliver the cash - exposing them to the risk of accidents.. While they had choppers.. which just followed them overhead... Si they should have just put the money in choppers and airlifted it to the desired location..


that's just forcing a storyline and it sucked...

@mozenrat: Also had the same issue until someone mentioned that professional negotiators always recommend that ransom be delivered in the slowest mode to give the police time to rescue the hostages. But all in all, good movie! I'm itching to see Takers and Machete!

@Sasha..

Except that in this case, time was of the essence.. the cops were actually struggling to deliver on time... Si that's why they had the accidents.. that's why the choppers were overhead to help clear traffic and to advise on the fastest route.. they even had outriders...
