Rating: 3/5 -- Mechanical and unspirited, this is just another goddam remake, as they might say in the Big Apple. Full Review

3 stars out of 4 -- In this retelling, director Tony Scott uses quick panning shots to intensify the action scenes....And Brian Helgeland's script gives the characters more depth and dimension.

Hauling their luxurious backstories like matching trailers, hero and villain face off with what seems like contractual symmetry. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- 'The Taking of Pelham 123' is not a bad film: it's ponderous and shallow, but always watchable. But what it crucially fails to do, especially in the light of its illustrious predecessor, is justify its own existence. Full Review

This is pointless, redundant, irrelevant film remaking, in which nothing of weight is ever at stake, and no relationships are ever formed. Full Review

3.5 stars out of 5 -- Scott offers a topical, visceral entertainment: his best since CRIMSON TIDE....PELHAM demonstrates how a gripping crime flick can be a great leveler.
