I never intended to see this movie twice... But my dad wanted to watch a movie that was action/adventurey and this was on Netflix streaming.... Basically John Travolta plays a BAMF who hijacks a subway train and Denzel works for the subway system and ends up playing negotiator. The style is SO Tony Scott, it looks EXACTLY like every one of his other movies (which was cool the first 10 times, but now is getting old. Change it up man). John Travolta, who's characters name is Ryder (told you he was a BAMF), yells and swears a LOT and waves around a gun. He's also WAAAAAAYYYY over the top, which could've worked if the movie didn't take itself so incredibly seriously. So anyways, Ryder makes this ten million dollar demand in exchange for hostages. So they're racing through New York trying to get this money to this guy and meanwhile they're driving so fast and recklessly to meet the dead line that they get into a few car accidents on the way. Looked like just an excuse to have cars careening out of control and flipping over. A lame excuse at that... In the end Denzel saves the day... As always... D+
