Mobile Movie Minute The Taking of Pelham 123 - or Ho Hum, Another Everyday Hostage Flick

Jun 11, 2009 The Taking of Pelham 123 - or Ho Hum, Another Everyday Hostage Flick

Mobile  Movie Minute 121 goes deep underground as Bad Boy John decides to remake a 1974 thriller.  But this time it's not so exciting.  It's somewhat tedious, 'cause we've seen it all before.  Some hostage movies hold you, and others don't.  This one doesn't, and the gratuitous violence of crashing police cars is not enough to wake you up.  Oh well, but it's early enough in the Summer of '09 to hope for some real films over the next few weeks.  2.8 bags of watch-out-for-the-third-rail popcorn for this who-are-they-kidding summer flick.

Bonus:  Watch the trailers for the 1974 and the 2009 films here!
