A hijack movie by numbers...123 ;)
Ann from Dublin, 19 Mar 2010
Nothing new on offer here, you've seen it before. Performances are not outstanding either, John Travolta hams it up and Denzel Washington doesnt convince as 'the average family man'. watchable nonetheless.

123
Alan from Dublin, 08 Aug 2010
Travolta does his mad bad guy impression and Denzel plays his ordinary joe caught in the middle act. This is ok stuff but nothing special, the story doesn't really explain the real reason they are highjacking the train (apart from the ransom) which leaves you wondering did you miss something at the end. Average fare.

Does what it says on the tin
Keith from Clare, 12 Nov 2010
Ok, how many times have we seen Travolta play the bad guy...? well enough to know that he is convincing as one.....even if it seems that he writes his own script....he gels well with Denzil who plays his part well . It gives its entire time to entertaining and thats what it should do........nuff said !!!

Fades in the end
Conor from Louth, 26 Nov 2010
Like most films with Denzel, this one is very watchable. It starts off quite well with the hijacking of a subway train and the initial negotiations. But the plot runs a little thin towards the latter stages. Decent cast, and overall decent movie.

A great film. All the characters are well played and the story holds you from start to finish.
A great film.
