DEViSE brings us the R5 of the movie The Taking of Pelham 123. “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3,” Tony Scott’s canny, energetic updating of the 1974 mass transit thriller, takes account of how much the character — to say nothing of the characters — of New York has changed since that almost mythic decade of decline and default. Like the original film, adapted from John Godey’s novel, this version, with a script by Brian Helgeland, deals with the brazen, borderline-insane hijacking of a local train on the Lexington Avenue line, but the subway system itself serves as an index of how the city and action-movie technology have evolved over the years. This version of The Taking of Pelham 123 is more about the relationship that develops between Ryder and Walter. Unlike in the 1974 movie, in which Walter Matthau played the negotiator. Even without Walter Matthau in the control room, this is still a train definitely worth taking. Judging from the sample, quality wise it is decent and very watchable with clean and clear Audio and Video tracks.

[NFO NOTES]: Hugs and kisses to our dear, dear friend Fatal for the fantastic audio! There are a few minutes in the audio where a second source was used (49 – 54 minute mark), it’s not that big of a deal, but we just   wanted to get it cleared.

Plot: New York City subway dispatcher draws on his extensive knowledge of the subway system in order to outsmart a dangerous criminal mastermind who’s hijacked a subway train in this remake of the 1974 thriller inspired by John Godey’s best-selling book. Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) was drifting through his daily routine when he received word that a heavily armed gang of four has hijacked a subway train and are holding all of the passengers hostage. Led by cunning master thief Ryder (John Travolta), the gunmen will begin executing everyone aboard should the authorities fail in delivering $10 million in the space of just one hour. With the tension in the tunnels rising, Walter races to save the hostages before the shootings start. But through it all, there’s one part of Ryder’s plan that Walter can’t quite comprehend: even if the thieves do succeed in getting their money, how could they possibly get out of the tunnels undetected?
