If there is a golden partner among directors and actors, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are a pair, then Tony Scott and Denzel Washington are another pair~

One is good at adjusting the tension of rhythm, and one is good at acting. The degree is convincing. We witnessed the tacit cooperation between the two in "Overtime Effect" and "Rage Rescue". This time we will not be disappointed~

The beginning of the film is slowly paving the way. Dan, who stepped out of the door of the building, was chased back, and the next scene between John Travolta and Dan began. This time, Travolta was less calm and more mad than in "Operation Swordfish". The audience's nerves are even more nervous, no one can think of who will die next, maybe not ~

Scott's usual camera shake, coupled with just the right music to set off, makes my calf keep shaking, hey~

The Taking of Pelham 123 quotes

  • Ryder: Now you understand commodities, don't you? You know, pork bellies, gold, light crude.

    Walter Garber: Listen. No disrespect, but maybe I'm not the guy you should be talking to.

    Ryder: Oh no, you are exactly the guy I wanna talk to. Now I want you to look at the ticker and I want you to tell me what is the going rate for a New York City hostage today. You think a million dollars is too much? I do. I think it's corny. Now get your calculator out. You got one?

    Ryder: [Garber hesitates] Do you have a calculator?

    Walter Garber: Yeah, we got one. I got one.

    Ryder: Okay, good. Now add this up. You got $526,315.79. That's $526,315.79 Now times that by 19. What do you get?

    Walter Garber: [looks at calculator] That's $10 million?

    Ryder: What do you get?

    Walter Garber: That comes out to $10 million plus 1 cent.

    Ryder: Oh that is a deal. Now I want you to call the mayor and tell him the price. And then you tell him I want it in 100,000 $100 dollar bills. You got that?

    Walter Garber: Okay I got that. What about the 1 cent?

    Ryder: Well you keep that 1 cent. It's your broker fee.

  • Ryder: Put Garber on the line!

    Camonetti: To be honest, Mr. Garber has gone home.

    Ryder: Put Garber on the fucking line or I'll kill the motorman!

    Camonetti: I guarantee you, Mr. Ryder, that I am the best person for you to be talking to right now. Just give me a moment and I'll explain why.

    Ryder: [to Jerry] You were always going to be the first one to go.

    [shoots Jerry several times]

    Ryder: Mr. Camonetti, you have 60 fucking seconds before I kill another, okay?
