Washington and Travolta do well in this negotiation landed plot stuck on a subway with limited location. Recommend at least once.
Enjoyable. Worth a watch. I want watch the original. Its supposedly better, so probably worth watching this one first so you can enjoy both.
I remember he takes something big. More like took it hostage feel, i remember having.
Good as Denzel Washington's movies used to be
Thrilling and respectable remake of a classic. Travolta and Washington have great chemistry as each other’s enemy. Intense till the end
Decent Action thriller with Washington & Travolta, which make an entertaining duo on screen.. It's nothing too deep but good one time watch!
No denying Travolta makes a great lunatic! Action packed, interesting story & superb acting.
Psychological action movie that fell flat. I think its a remake. Originals are usually far superior so perhaps that's worth watching.
Much better than anticipated. Like the quick pace and unique editing. Plus a great performance from John Travolta makes this fun to watch.
Never saw the original but this one is great. Great acting all around keeps you riveted
