The Taking of Inside Man
Howdy, long time no ramble, but I've just watched Tony Scott's update of The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) and found it impossible to resist the urge to post...well...a post on the differences between this film and Inside Man (Spike Lee, 2006). I must have a reason for saying this - it's only right. You can't just go around arbitrarily comparing stuff: "Do you know why apples are better than magnesium?" or "Penguins are better swimmers than walnuts." That kinda thing just doesn't wash and is not the type of chatter I wish to engage in here - you're busy, I'm busy...y'know. Source: www.reelreview.co.uk/?p=542 The Taking of Pelham 123 is based on a novel by John Godey and will obviously pay more than a passing glance to the 1974, Joseph Sargent film of the same name and source material, but (and here is the point at last) I think the text it takes the most inspiration from (or perhaps tries to emulate) is Spike Lee's 2006 heis
