The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3


  • Sorry, we don't deliver pizzas.

This week's second remake is of an even older movie. Basically, a group of baddies hijack an underground train, ditch all the cars except one, and park it in a tunnel. They then demand ten million dollars within an hour, or they will start executing the hostages, one per minute, until the money is paid. A traffic controller is tasked with being the go-between the police and the hijackers, and as the tick clicks down, the tension and body count starts rising.


104 minutes, No persons under 16 (Language, Violence)
Crime, Drama, Thriller.
