One could forgive Tony Scott’s remake of “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3” for its departures from the acclaimed 1974 original (both were based on the novel by John Godey) if it succeeded on its own as a taut thriller. Unfortunately, Scott seems not to trust the cat-and-mouse maneuverings of transit authority dispatcher Denzel Washington and subway hijacker John Travolta to carry the film, instead sucking away the claustrophobic intensity with car chases and other superfluous frills.
I just saw the remake of “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.” It’s mostly generic and tired, a standard-issue hostage thriller with two alpha leads yakking at each other nonstop in big close-up shots.
