Don't want to give too much away, but this movie was awesome. Just saw a special premiere of it tonight, I got in for free but it's worth the money haha. GO watch it when it comes out.

Looking forward to this one. Getting good reviews. Though I will be surprised if Travolta can top Robert Shaw in the original.

The original Pelham was great. How does this one compare to the original?

Actually, his is the 2nd remake. The first one was a made-for-tv, movie.

Looks good but I am not overly hyped to see it. Probably will enjoy this one once its released on DVD.

Suh or bust, Dom. You make the call.

Never get too geeked on remakes. I didn't feel like there was anything "missing" from the first one that needed to be expanded upon.
All posts are opinions in case you are too stupid to figure that out on your own without me saying it over and over.

Looked weak in the previews.  I just can't Travolta seriously as a "tough guy"

Marty Balsam was good in the original as well.

Travolta can play a villain well if he gets into the part.

Swordfish, Broken Arrow, Face/off, he played the villain well in those, it was the main character/good guy that hurt those movies.

Pulp Fiction?

The original starred Martin Balsam.  If you are of the younger set, you'd not recall the movie.  It was pretty "intense" for its time.  Great flick....you can probably still rent the thing somewhere.
