John Travolta can be amazing (Pulp Fiction) or totally embarrassing (Battlefield Earth). But teamed up with Denzel Washington, who can read the phone book and be captivating, Travolta elevates his game.
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, a remake of a 1974 cult classic, has a mediocre plot and would have been pretty lame with any two other actors in the lead roles. But Denzel and Travolta’s performances — and a few hyped-up, amped-up car crashes — make this movie, directed by action God Tony Scott, a must-see.
