Anyone seen it yet?

I loved almost everything about this movie. Great plot, cool twists, great cast. The main thing I disliked was Travolta's character or maybe his acting, it was way too over the top for me. But like I said overall I really liked it.

I know the movie was in theaters months ago but with the baby we don't get to see movies at all anymore.

What was everyone's take?

I saw it. Thought it was ok. Nothing more, nothing less.

I recommend a rental -- it's pretty good, nothing too special.

It was ok. It had the chance to be much better. It ended up just being really bland and frankly kind of boring. BTW, what "twists" are you talking about?? I dont think I remember a single twist all movie, but then again, I watched awhile ago.

I thought it was pretty good. I work in the financial industry so I enjoyed the plot twist.

*SPOILER*

not to ruin it too much but Travolta's real reason for hijacking the train. that's the twist that I was talking about.

It was better than I expected but I wasn't expecting much b/c Travolta blows.

Watch the original. It's awesome.
