Review of Movie: Taking of Pelham One Two Three Walter Matthau Robert Shaw

 4.5 of 5 (2)

An all star cast including Robert Shaw (Jaws) and Oscar winners Walter Matthau and Martin Balsam, delivers &quot;sure-fire entertainment [that's] gripping and exciting from beginning to end.&quot; (The Hollywood Reporter). Based on the sizzling bestseller by John Godey, this pulse-pounding movie is guaranteed to give you the ride of your life!<br><br>Somewhere underground in New York's subway system, just outside the Pelham Station, a gang of armed men hijack a train, threatening to kill one hostage per minute unless their demands are met. Forced to stall these unknown assailants until a ransom is delivered or a rescue is attempted, transit chief Lt. Garber (Matthau) must ad-lib, bully, con and shrewdly outmanuever one of the craftiest and cruelist villains (Shaw) in a battle of wits that will end either heroically or tragically. Rated R.
Overall rating for this DVD?	> Excellent > Very Good > Good > Fair > Poor
The rest is optional but appreciated.
In your opinion, how was the narration level?	There was no narration. Just enough. Could have used more. A little too much. Way too much. Narration can be turned off.
Aside from the content of the DVD, how would you rate the image quality (sharpness, camera steadiness, etc)?	Poor. A little rough around the edges. Good. Excellent!
How would you rate the VALUE of this video?	Overpriced for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. Seemed a little high, but not too bad. Fair. Good value. Excellent value!
Last question. Would you recommend this DVD to others?	Definitely not! Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter. Yes Definitely. A "Must Have"!
