    From what I have seen and heard, this is only loosely based on the original film. If you see it expecting to see a remake then you will be disapointed.

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By Bobsview (549 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 05 Apr 2013
    Remake of the 1974 classic , with lots of internet technology. John Travolta playing John Travolta. Watchable but not as good as the original.

    The film starts on an ordinary day, where train dispatcher Garber (Washington) starts noticing that something is wrong. Hijacker Ryder (Travolta) demands $10,000,000 or the hostages die. The film gives you a real time account for whats happening with a clock counting down the fatal minutes until the deadline. In conversation between Garber and Ryder, you find out that Garber isn't as innocent as he seems.

    A really good thriller that keeps you watching. The acting is excellent as is the story line. I haven't seen the original but if you like your action thrillers don't miss this one.

    Good remake of the original. Excellent acting, but what else do you expect from Denzel Washington and John Travolta, definately worth watching.
