The Taking of Pelham One Two Three [Blu-ray] Reviews

Infinitely superior to the overly busy and somewhat ridiculous 2009 remake, the 1974 version of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three is a slick, lean action thriller with quite a few fascinating New York character types and a compelling plot that makes the most of its tension-filled and (at the time) unique structure. The film’s climax is something of a letdown after the momentous build-up it receives, but even with that small anomaly, there are plenty of moments to savor in this gritty thriller that feels and sounds like the real New York of the period.
