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. Full Review

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

[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. 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

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. Full Review

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