Really nice movie. Action. Thrills. Strong characters. Good story. My recommendation is to go see it if you have not. John Travolta and Denzel Washington have give stellar performances in this movie.
As you probably already know, this is a remake of the 1974 thriller with the same name. They have basically updated the story to suit the times. Ryder (John Travolta) hijacks a train on the Lexington Avenue line and holds 17 passengers hostage demanding ransom from a lowly employee of the transit authority, Walter Garber (Denzel Washington), who is himself embroiled in a intra-departmental inquiry on bribery charges. Thus starts a tense mental tussle between the two distinctly different opponents through the train’s communication system!
Beautiful portrayal by John Travolta, Denzel Washington and in a small way by James Gandolfini who acts as the Mayor of New York and a supposed replacement of Rudy Guiliani in the post 9-11 city.
