The Taking of the Pelham 123 (1:46)

Last night searching the Netflix streaming section, I came across The Taking of the Pelham 123. I remembered that this movie was released during the summer of 2009 and received lukewarm reviews. My movie going friends and I discussed briefly about going to see it since we are fans of Washington and Travolta. And we never got to the theater to see it. So at 10:00 last night, I planned to start the movie and watch for about a half hour, go to bed and finish it in the morning. Well, it was midnight when the laptop was shut down. This movie is good, Washington and Travolta were excellent. Washington is a good good guy, and Travolta as equally is a good bad guy. And of course, Travolta is demanding ten million dollars so his language is not of a Sunday School teacher.  There are shootings that result in death, a car crash with injuries but it is a hostage drama. The only problem with this movie was that watching it so late, I dreamed about being held a hostage in an elevator and other crazy active dreaming episodes involving cops and robber type drama. Sometimes poor reviews are not always accurate, I green light this movie.
