Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Scott gets into the zip and rush of urban energy with an enthusiasm bordering on hilarity.

Variety - Todd McCarthy
More than anything a fascinating portrait of how much New York has changed in 35 years, the film delivers the goods in excitement and big-star charisma.

New York Daily News - Joe Neumaier
A fast and relentless hostage thriller that never stops.
63
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
There's not much wrong with Tony Scott's The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, except that there's not much really right about it.
