And Another

What it’s all about

New Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 comes out today. It’s from Tony Scott, making his third Denzel Washington actiony thriller in five years, after Man on Fire (also a remake) and Déjà Vu.

I liked the old one from director Joseph Sargent, who’s done a lot of TV work I wouldn’t be into (and some I would) but had quite a sweet spot in the early/mid-1970s, Also, I heard a newscaster refer to it as “The Taking of Pelham One-Twenty-Three” and got mad at the TV. One-Two-Three, people. It’s as easy as A-B-C.
