Rearview Review: Pelham Takes a Classic Hostage

John Travolta and Denzel Washington star in this remake of one of my favorites, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, a hostage drama set in the NYC subway. But here, the two stars are completely flat, and director Tony Scott focuses on shaky cameras and shiny gadgets instead of New York, and the human drama, and the plot.

Hit the clip to get my instant take, taped right after the screening. It's a segment we're calling Rearview Reviews.
