If there be a hall of fame for action film makers. The Scott family would have scored two easy hits on its A-list.Although the pull factor was not exactly felt in the trailer which may not always be a bad thing. The film manages to deliver the under-promised and more in full effects.
The story is your usual hostage-negotiator-ransom-deadline action. However, it draws plenty of references to the Heroes of everyday Life. In fact, it reminds us that there are no such thing as Heroes. Only normal people with the gallantry to take that step forward in order to preserve Lives of others in distress even if it means putting their own in harm's way.
The ride is packed with action at every turn and the thrill is really intense. Even the humour injected are pretty dark too.
I had no idea that this was a remake of an earlier film until after, but anything that bears Denzel Washington's mark is reason enough not to be missed. I have never been a big fan of John Travolta but that does not dispose the fact that he is still regarded as an on-screen heavy weight with sensational acting skill and even more amazing chemistry to match his title.
