I saw the 1974 original, possibly on TV in the seventies, and it has stuck with me like few other movies have, so I really wanted to see this remake. Sadly, Travolta is no Matthau, Denzel is no Robert Shaw, and the sequel did not live up to my 30-year old memory. It was entertaining enough, but Denzel's naïeveté grew tiresome. - T
