Admittedly, I like Tony Scott movies more than most critics and I wonder why that is. After all, he has a visual style you can recognize, he keeps the action moving, and he usually works with good if not great actors. I mean, in an environment where we forgive plot holes and bad character development in superhero movies because of the spectacle, here's a guy who gives you spectacle every time out and he can't catch a break.

In the last ten years, he's only made one bad movie (Domino), but the rest of the filmography over that time includes Man on Fire, Deja Vu, Spy Game, and Enemy of the State, and frankly, those are all good, slick action movies. His next one, a remake of The Taking of Pelham 123, again combines his frenetic style, Denzel Washington, and technology, but I wonder if it'll get the same kind of tepid reaction the previous films have received.

In addition to Denzel, Pelham stars John Travolta, James Gandolfini, and John Turturro, so that's a really good start, right? All right, I've made my opening argument. Exhibit A is the second trailer for The Taking of Pelham 123.
