Review of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) by Sanity Assassin ! — 09 Mar 2008
Mr blue? mr green? mr gray and mr brown? no, this isn't reservoir dogs! this is a 1974 crime caper about a group of men hijacking a train and taking a carriage of people hostage. there is no more plot to it.
not much more. just how they escape from the tunnel. it has some small moments of comedy and generally it is a very decent b-movie action flick. I liked some of the camera angles used as well such as the shot obviously from the front of the police car.
the cinematography was good. walter matthau had the investigative role and nailed it. no one overdid their acting.
