Good direction, weak script....

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2002)

Mediocre psychological thriller with a few scenes that go on way too long. Not Nolan's fault -- he directs this material as well as any other good working director could. I also think the original wasn't that good a movie to begin with -- why a remake? Bottom line: I didn't care about Pacino's character enough. Like other reviewers here, I also found myself falling asleep during expositional scenes in the second act of the movie.

Alaska looks great though. But you can rent or watch a Discovery or National Geographic special cheaper at home.
