The Taking of Pelham 123

Not my favorite of the Tony Scott/Denzel collaborations. The villain’s plan is fatally flawed, so it’s hard to see him as much of a menace. He doesn’t seem ruthless, so the killings seem out of place. As if to inject some extraneous action, there’s a really lengthy race through the city, resulting in a lot of crashes and explosions. It all felt very unnecessary. Sure, the performances were fine. But the script was kinda blah.
