The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

This film, based on the novel by John Godey, is an action-packed drama featuring John Travolta as the leader of the bad guys who have hijacked a subway train in NYC for a 10 million dollar ransom. His first contact is with a train dispatcher, played by Denzel Washington, who gets drawn into the plan as the negotiations progress and the pressure mounts. This was a thoroughly entertaining movie with a good mix of suspense, action and humor seasoned with some great New York City flavor.
