Review of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) by Samuel B — 21 Jun 2009
Stunning. As an aspiring director, this is a great model of the "less is more" philosophy. Rife with excellent details and killer lines, this is one movie that really gets itself. The plot chugs along at a good pace, and Walter Matthau is great as the hero thrust into a situation that defies all logic and sense, but is shockingly possible in the post-911 world.
Stars all around for a movie that truely understands what a human situation this hijacking, and any hijacking, is.
