Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tony Scott's brainless remake of the classic 1974 thriller stars Denzel Washington as a New York subway dispatcher and a hammy John Travolta as a tattooed psycho who radios him to announce that he's hijacked a train.
Scott's style is more berserk than ever. Every second or two he whirls the camera around, zooms in, throws in some slow-motion, and then freeze-frames and slaps a caption onscreen. It's a pity none of these hijinks compensate for the inert dialogue.
