A fun movie with two decent performances from Washington and Travolta. If your looking for a fun action flick this year watch this.

I rather enjoyed the film, the acting was good with a good cast. Lines were very well delivered and the trains did not run on time. At times it felt a little slow, other times you felt for the characters, but for some reason they didn't make you feel claustrophobic down in those tunnels.

At one point of the film the police decided to do a crazy run trying to deliver the money on time. This seemed a stupid scene, but that was about it. And that was it, there was no twists or turns, no loose ends. Just a nice little small package with a typical ending.

Well im not to sure what people were thinking when they made this movie but they must not of that to hard because you could see the end of the movie five minutes after it started the only thing you couldnt see was some of the out of the blue lines in the script ,I will say john travolta gives A great performence s he always does but the rest of the cast is less than good and average at best they could have made this alot better but hey it could have been alot worse my take is you should just rent it because it overall is just the taking of you money.
