Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Very good movie
The DVD itself was perfectly fine, worked well. The film is great! It was reminiscent of Die Hard. Tense thriller.
This is an interesting story about men who hijack a subway train in a novel manner and hold the passengers for ransom all the while the train is moving. Excellent casting, good character development and a nicely-paced plot.
However, as not all Blu-ray discs are burned the same this one is below par. Even with upscaling, both by the TV and the player the picture quality was DVD-like.

Extras include original trailer and interview with Hector Alonzo
