The Taking of Pelham 123 confirms Denzel Washington as an absolutely brilliant actor to watch on-screen. John Travolta's role as "RYDER" synergizes just right with Denzel's Garber too.

Visually the movie tends to delve into heavy use of high shutter speed constantly which may put the watcher off a little... and the ridiculous premise of a high-speed cash transfer by car, though fun (and makes for some crash calls) is of course, ridiculous.
