Denzel Washington reunites again with director Tony Scott for this remake of the 1974 film of the same title. Terrorist hijack a subway train and take hostages in order to ask ransom from the city of New York. Except for one spectacular action scene and the focus on the average guy as the hero, there's hardly anything new in this predictable yarn. Washington is always reliable and too good for this kind of fare while John Travolta tries too hard to impress as the villain. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
