Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
But even [Denzel] Washington, mighty as he is, can't shoulder the burden of [Tony] Scott's haphazard direction, punctuated with edits so fast that, at times, it's like watching the film through an old-fashioned zoetrope.

The original film was far superior and will be remembered in years to come while the current remake will soon be forgotten.

The Atlantic
[As the characters] and the film escape the confines of the subway, their volatility propels PELHAM through a crackerjack third act that finally transcends the arena of guilty pleasures.

Rating: 3/5 --
Head-bangingly hyperactive as ever, action maestro Tony Scott appears to have upped his caffeine intake for this unexpectedly entertaining remake.

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

The Spectator
Clearly, this isn't about crime and it isn't about terror; it isn't even about the heist...it's about being fed up with the quintessential American city.

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

Product Description:
This remake of the 1974 classic pits heavyweights Denzel Washington and John Travolta against each other. Washington plays a subway dispatcher in New York City who uses all his knowledge to stop the train hijacking by Travolta's Ryder.
