The Taking of Pelham 123

I went to see it with Denzel, but found it to be a really good movie. Denzel, an ordinary train dispatcher, on his bad day, encountered someone hijacking the train, and also met a robber who liked him very much, and insisted that he go to the ransom. Before going, Denzel called home, and his wife's words "Now you do what you have to do, but we need milk. So on your way home, I want you to bring a gallon." everything. The robber's line "you are my goddamn hero!" when it's better to shoot the robber to death is what the movie is trying to tell the audience.

    I finally finished watching the film after so long. DW acted very cute and silly, JT was much more bland in comparison, and there was no tension or expectation after the plot, except for just using the next city, nothing Great scene!

    After the second brush, I feel that the story is too superficial. The theme is about the black government, but it is not convincing in terms of characterization. The typical Hollywood narrative stops abruptly where it can be deepened. The control of the scene is more mature than before, and the second time is smoother than the first time.
