Good afternoon my dear old fans (huh!!! as if), I am glad to say that I am back after a long time away. I have been kept away with my MBA and my new job…. ehhhhhh I’ll to that in another post; i am sure you are dying to find out (yeah right).
This post is about something else. It is about one of the most surprisingly tasteless movies i have seen – by far.
Yes you guessed it; I am talking about “The Talking of Pelham 123″
I went with a friend to watch the movie I have been longing for, for quiet sometime, and with a crew like that I thought i was in for a night to remember, that I was about to see the next Oscar harvester. I mean we are talking Travolta and Den-fuckin’-zel, not to mention the guy from the Sopranos, wasn’t his name Tony something (just kidding no one can forget James Gandolfini)
Sadly enough, the movie was nothing like I expected, and it failed miserably to meet my standards. I do not want to spoil the movie for those who haven’t seen it yet (btw don’t) but it lacked everything.
For a thriller it just wasn’t thrilling enough for me, I wasn’t on the edge of my seat. I wasn’t even in the middle of it, In fact, if anything, I was laid back struggling no to fall asleep.
I found the plot to be especially poorly set, it wasn’t smooth and you couldn’t make sense of why the characters did what they did. Not to mention that the idea of kidnapping a train has so been done.
Well, to be fair, I am going to take back my earlier “it lacked everything” statement. The movie was oozing with talent. Well how can it not, Travolta, Denzel, and Gandolfini did everything they could as far as I am concerned. Scratch that they have even out performed themselves. The acting was magnificent. But because everything else sucked you couldn’t feel the passion.
All in all, it was like watching a b-movie and bad one too.
