Paul Constant is not pleased:
John Travolta can't say "fuck" anymore. When Quentin Tarantino pulled Travolta out of the old-actors junkyard, dusted him off, and tossed him on the big screen in 1994's Pulp Fiction, his usage of the fuck-word seemed bold and fresh. But 15 years later, now that Travolta's become everybody's least favorite creepy uncle, he's lost his cussing mojo. Travolta swears all over the remake of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, and all his "motherfuckers" sound lame, like he's an alien who doesn't understand the concept behind the word. His weird, halfhearted portrayal of a villain is the worst thing about this very bad movie.
