madrobinsWith no children in the house, the Spouse and I decided we needed to see a movie, so we went to see The Taking of Pelham 123. There are a few geographic bobbles, as there always are in movies set somewhere you know. It drove the Spouse (aka Mr Ears) nuts that the train whistle they use is not an NYC Transit whistle--it's more like a diesel train whistle (hey, I caught that too). And the music was deeply irritating.
OTOH, it moves too fast for you to really worry about the preposterousness of it all. John Travolta sports a moustache which is the epitome of Evil, and Denzel Washington's character is just slightly tarnished--but he resists bringing out the big charisma guns until the very end of the movie, which is very good of him. It's fun.
