The Taking of Pelham 123 Movie Reviews

User's review

Show all reviews for this movie

This movie didn't feel exciting in the least. There was no real adrenaline rush as I expected from two great lead actors and what should have been an intense stand-off. Denzel was simply being Denzel and Travlota wasn't very convincing as a Wall Street high roller exec gone bad. A rental at best but not worthy of Blockbuster status.

6/10

Are you insane? This movie was amazing.
awoouga - 21.6.2009 - age: 18-25

Wow... your comment is hardly worth replying to. Check the stats kid. 8 reviews in my gender & age group and the average is around the 6 Mark. Exactly what the movie deserves in my opinion. Box office receipts easily support my review. You can have your opinion and judge it accordingly but surely you jest when talking to me. Have a nice day :-)
paulleslie12@ - 22.6.2009 - age: 36-49

Wow... and at your age you should know better. The "kid" wasn't insulting you or anything. He just really liked the movie and that's it. No need to be defensive and there was clearly no need to be condescending either.

Is this tag team? I write movie reviews not gossip columns. I'm not into the trash talk so I would hope I could write a review and that would be the end of it. The person who commented to begin with, addressed me directly and not the movie. At my age, I find that a little out of line.
