   Jan 1, 1973 · The Taking of Pelham 123 is a masterfully written novel. If someone were to describe the narrative voice of the novel told from the perspective of 30 plus characters, you would say it would be damn near impossible to pull off in such a way as to keep the action moving, but Godey does it.

   • (Joseph Sargent, 1974) “Screw the passengers! What do they expect for their 35 cents — to live forever?!” The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three originally came to the big screen with the tagline “Everybody read it, now you can live it.”
   • (Félix Enríquez Alcalá, 1998) “Gesundheit.” Did you know that Quentin Tarantino borrowed Reservoir Dogs’ colourful codenames from Sargent’s film?
   • (Tony Scott, 2009) “You know, we all owe God a death.” On the other hand, when Tony Scott’s film departs from Pelham Station in the first 10 minutes, it makes an even bigger departure from the source material and both previous versions of it.

   Seen both movies but never read the book. A bit of page-turner, a dash of political discussion, this tale is told from the points of view of several of the people involved - hijackers, detainees, cops, transit personnel and various others.

   Nov 20, 2011 · Unlike that unrefined Tony Scott remake with John Travolta and Denzel Washington from 2009, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three relies heavily on its own sense of class. This isn’t a flashy, CGI-laden popcorn movie with subpar performances and a lack of feeling.
