I can't believe more people haven't heard of this movie...It is a must for anyone that enjoyed Dog Day Afternoon I saw the original AND the tv version years ago, with Edward James Olmos in the Walter Mattau/Denzel role. i loved both, and can’t wait for the Denzel movie…I agree with the host, the ending is great!

I had never heard of this movie nor of the '74 version. Denzel was awesome and Ravolta was decent too. And yes...my husband and I call him RAVOLTA because he's revolting!

I just love seeing Washington in bad guy roles, he is a natural at it. I do not need to mention Training Day, clearly his best work so far and am waiting for another one of his films that equals this. As for Travolta, well, lets just see before casting judgment on him. I dont think its fair to write him off just yet...he has done some very good films, its just that i cant remember any right now!!

This should turn out very good. American Gangsta was by no means Oscar worthy but to call it overrated it ridiculous. If you want to see a film that's overrated just rent No Country For Old Men.

I'm going to have to check that one out for sure. As for this remake...Travolta? Fail. I'm sorry but the fact that he's a scientologist alone is enough to throw me off everything he does. Don't get me wrong, I don't usually discriminate based on beliefs, but I hate scientology with a passion, and refuse to support any scientologist. I’ve never even heard of the original film.

But Denzel is too cool, too f*ing awesome to play an average guy. They should have him play the hijacker and someone more like Wendell Pierce (or maybe Jeff Bridges) to play the cop. I do agree with Hunter though. Not looking forward. Seems they are trying to tone down Denzel to make him a “average guy doing his job”.
