The Good Dr. Higgins is insistent that we review the reboot of ‘The Taking of Pelham One Two Three’, ‘The Taking of Pelham 123′ for this week’s show.
Dear Listeners – this prospect fills me with dread.
A film obviously made by feeding ‘Swordfish’ and ‘Inside Man’ into Microsoft’s new search engine ‘Bing’ with a script polish by ‘Wolfram Alpha’ via ‘Scriptbot’, ‘The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3′, (why switch the words into numerals? why why why?), is the kind of movie that, like Transformers, I doubt I could make it more than 15 minutes into.
And yet.
The Good Dr. is, as I said, insistent.
So this post is a plea. Dr. Higgins – the redoubtable Karina Longworth has already reviewed ‘The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3′ on her Spoutblog.
Can’t we say that’s good enough?
