TRAIN RIDE

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)

This is a tight, exciting and very satisfying thriller about the "kidnapping" of a subway car with 17 riders.

It is an ensemble cast with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. A host of NYC actors fill it out.

It is very good and not a studio shot in view. All New York City all the time.

I would not mind seeing it again sometime. That makes it a 4 out of Netflix5.
