In New York, four criminals led by the smart Ryder hijack the subway train Pelham 123, stopping the first car with nineteen hostages in a higher plane in the tunnel in Manhattan. Ryder calls the subway control center and the operator Walter Garber talks to him. The abductor demands ten million dollar and gives one hour to the delivery by the City Hall. The Mayor accepts to pay the ransom while the NYPD negotiator Camonetti assumes the negotiation. However Ryder demands that Garber, who was demoted from an executive position due to the accusation of accepting kickback in the purchase business of Japanese trains, continues to be his liaison with the authorities. Within the tense hour, Ryder empathizes with Garber and asks him to bring the money to the train.
In early afternoon, four armed men hijack a subway train in Manhattan. They stop on a slight incline, decoupling the first car to let the rest of the train coast back. Their leader is Ryder; he connects by phone with Walter Garber, the dispatcher watching that line. Garber is a supervisor temporarily demoted while being investigated for bribery. Ryder demands $10 million within an hour, or he'll start shooting hostages. He'll deal only with Garber. The mayor okays the payoff, the news of the hostage situation sends the stock market tumbling, and it's unclear what Ryder really wants or if Garber is part of the deal. Will hostages, kidnappers, and negotiators live through this?
Ten motorcycles blast out of the basement of New York City's federal reserve branch, delegated to block off every intersection for miles so a squad car can deliver three pieces of rolling luggage filled with 100,000 $100 bills across town to meet a hostage-taker's impossible deadline. BOOM! The squad car broadsides a taxi–and keeps on going! WHAM! A motorcycle cop uses a hatchback like a water-ski ramp! BANG! The squad car gets broadsided by an AMBULANCE and FLIES OVER A BRIDGE GUARDRAIL! Yes, it's Grand Theft Auto–Manhattan, and you don't even have to move your thumbs to catch all the fun. Does it even resemble something that could happen in real life? No. Does anyone even hear the character in the movie who says, "Why not fly the ransom in a helicopter?" No. Where would the adrenaline rush be in that? A rat climbs up a sniper's leg and bites! Guess what happens next? You'll have to buy your own ticket.
Having not seen the original Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, I went into this film fairly open-minded. Denzel Washington is one of my personal favorite actors working today, so I expected this movie to - if nothing else - have a solid lead performance. What I ended up getting was an intense, if a bit formulaic, thriller.<br/><br/>What makes this movie work is the interplay between these two main characters. Denzel Washington, again, as expected, does a terrific job portraying the redemption-seeking Walter Garber. Surprisingly, though, I found myself more impressed by John Travolta as the overconfident &quot;Ryder.&quot; In fact, aside from his performances in Bolt and Pulp Fiction, this is probably my favorite role that I&#39;ve seen him in. It&#39;s just intense when watching these two characters play off of each other throughout the first two acts of this film, which leads me to my biggest problem with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.<br/><br/>While the first hour of this film is extremely – again – intense, around the last 30-40 minutes, the movie just becomes your typical action, chase film. Throughout that final act of the movie, I was just thinking &quot;C&#39;mon, go back to the two of them talking!&quot; And with that said, the action sequences aren&#39;t really impressive, as the directing is simply too frenetic.<br/><br/>Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. While the movie does lose a good bit of its steam towards the end, I literally found myself on the edge of my seat throughout the first two thirds of it, not to mention that the acting is excellent all around. It&#39;s by no means a must-see, but I&#39;d certainly recommend it.
There's not much wrong with Tony Scott's The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, except that there's not much really right about it.
Four armed men—Bashkim (<a href="/name/nm2963873/">Victor Gojcaj</a>), Emri (<a href="/name/nm2963717/">Robert Vataj</a>), Phil Ramos (<a href="/name/nm0350079/">Luis Guzmán</a>), and their leader, Bernard Ryder (<a href="/name/nm0000237/">John Travolta</a>)—hijack the lead car of a subway train in Manhattan. Ryder contacts MTA dispatcher Walter Garber (<a href="/name/nm0000243/">Denzel Washington</a>) in the Rail Control Center (RCC) and demands $10 million in ransom to be delivered in one hour or they will start shooting the 19 hostages, one for each minute the money is late. The Taking of Pelham 123 is based on the 1973 novel The Taking of Pelham One Two Three by American author Morton Freedgood, writing under the pen name of John Godey. The novel was adapted for this movie by American screenwriters Brian Helgeland and David Koepp. An earlier adaptation of the novel, <a href="/title/tt0072251/">The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)</a>, was released in 1974. A TV remake, <a href="/title/tt0140594/">The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1998)</a>, was released in 1998. Pelham refers to a local Manhattan train that departs from Pelham Bay Park. The &quot;123&quot; refers to the time that it leaves 1:23. The &quot;taking&quot; refers to a hijacking. After Garber delivers the money, the hijackers start up the train, having found a way to circumvent the dead man feature. They get off the train at the Roosevelt spur, a derelict tunnel built under the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The train continues forward, picking up speed until the passengers become alarmed and the authorities at the MTV conclude that no one is driving the train anymore. Fortunately, the train trips a red light and stops. MTV orders all patrol cars to converge at the Roosevelt spur, where they open fire on Bashkim and Emri. Garber follows Ryder, who has hailed a taxi in which he checks his laptop to find that he has successfully shortsold the market and invested in gold, earning a huge profit. Ryder hijacks a truck and follows Ryder&#39;s cab to the Manhattan Bridge where Ryder has exited his stalled cab. Garber catches up to him on the pedestrian walkway and confronts him with a gun. Ryder demands that Garber kill him before the police do and gives him 10 seconds to shoot. At the end of the 10 seconds, Ryder reaches for his gun, and Garber shoots him. &quot;You&#39;re my goddamn hero,&quot; Ryder says as he sinks to the ground. Later, while on his way home, Garber is stopped by the mayor (<a href="/name/nm0001254/">James Gandolfini</a>) who thanks him, informs him that the city will go to bat for him in the bribery investigation, and offers him a ride home in his car. Garber takes the train instead. In the final scene, he arrives home, a half-gallon of milk in his hand. The first drafts of the script faced the challenge of updating the novel with contemporary technology, including cellphones, GPS, laptops, thermal imaging, and a post-9/11 world in New York City. In December 2007, David Koepp, who adapted the novel for Scott and Washington said: I wrote many drafts to try and put it in the present day and keep all the great execution that was there from the first one. It&#39;s thirty years later so you have to take certain things into account. Hopefully we came up with a clever way to move it to the present. Koepp&#39;s drafts were meant to be &quot;essentially familiar&quot; to those who read the novel, preserving the &quot;great hero vs. villain thing&quot; of the original. Brian Helgeland, the only one receiving credit for the screenplay, took the script in a different direction, making the remake more like the 1974 film than the novel and, as Helgeland put it, making it about &quot;two guys who weren&#39;t necessarily all that different from each other.&quot; Whereas the novel is told from more than 30 perspectives, keeping readers off balance because it is unknown which characters the writer might suddenly discard, the two films focus on the lead hijacker and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority employee with whom he communicates by phone. The new version sharpens that focus until it&#39;s almost exclusively a duel between disgraced MTA dispatcher Walter Garber and manic gunman Ryder.<br/><br/>In the book and original film, Ryder is &quot;cold-blooded and calculating&quot;, but in the 2009 film he is a &quot;loose cannon willing to kill innocents, not out of necessity, but out of spite.&quot; Also Ryder, in the original film and book, is portrayed as a normal looking businessman, while in the 2009 film he looks like he has adopted prison life, wearing very visible prison related tattoos and very laid back modern style of a biker. In the 1974 film, the main character is named Zachary Garber and is a lieutenant in the Transit Authority police; in the 2009 film, the main character is named Walter Garber and works as a subway train dispatcher. Ryder asks for $10 million dollars instead of the $1 million as in the original film and book and $5 million in the made-for TV movie. Ryder does not use the &quot;Mr. Blue&quot; nickname as the original film does; it is implied that Ryder is a nickname.
