Review: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

I’ve always felt that if a movie has plot holes, the writers can easily overcome most of them by just mentioning them… Like if you’re on a space ship that seems to have gravity then as long as a character makes mention of a “gravity generator”, its all good.

One scene near the beginning I was particularly fond of is when a helicopter crashes and the camera is inside looking out… With the volume of the theatre and surround sound it truely makes you feel like you could be there. However it wasn’t all good… the full review, including my rating, after the break
