See the Original now out in a Criterian Collection DVD

Rating: 1/10 (5 July 2003)

This is a good remake but the original is a superior film. The lead actor, Skellan Shaasgard, is as good as they come, outshining Al Pacino, and the direction is better. Nolan is talented but he doesn't do anything here exceptional. Hilary Seitz is wasted in a nothing role, and the screenplay here basically follows the original, although manages to busy things up a bit needlessly. Tech credits are solid, of course.
