This may be the best overlooked Walter Matthau movie. "The Taking of Pelham, One, Two Three" is a solid action film. Walter Matthau plays police Lt. Zackary Garber who must deal with hijackers of a New York City Subway train. The hijackers refer to themselves by colors, the main hijacker is played by Robert Shaw who is known in the film as blue. If you like a movie with suspense, then this is just what you were looking for. Both Matthau and Shaw put in strong performances as two men on either side of a hijacking. I think the threat of killing one hostage a minute until their demands are met was brilliant. See for yourself by taking a chance on "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three"!
