[A] canny, energetic updating of the 1974 mass transit thriller....The subway system itself serves as an index of how the city and action-movie technology have evolved over the years.
New York Times
Carried the whole load on his back, he did! Denzel Washington, American hero! Now somebody reward him with a good film!

The eXile
[As the characters] and the film escape the confines of the subway, their volatility propels PELHAM through a crackerjack third act that finally transcends the arena of guilty pleasures.
Movieline
Rating: 2/5 --
But even [Denzel] Washington, mighty as he is, can't shoulder the burden of [Tony] Scott's haphazard direction, punctuated with edits so fast that, at times, it's like watching the film through an old-fashioned zoetrope.

The original film was far superior and will be remembered in years to come while the current remake will soon be forgotten.

The Atlantic
3 stars out of 4 -- In this retelling, director Tony Scott uses quick panning shots to intensify the action scenes....And Brian Helgeland's script gives the characters more depth and dimension.
USA Today
Rating: 3/4 --
A crackerjack, popcorn-munching thriller, an enjoyably wacky piece of summer fluff entertainment that holds on for two hours but lets go in the home stretch and fails to leave a strong impression.
