Why Bother?

Rating: 5/10 (6 March 2019)

What was the purpose in making this poorly cast remake for the umpteenth time? The movie rings false on every front, failing to suspend disbelief even for one brief second. Neither the time period nor the era seems genuine at all. I like to refer to this effect as 'clean dirty' meaning that any attempts to make one feel that the events are actually taking place in that particular time period look as though they took brand new movie sets and artificially dirtied them. Think of all the good purposes that they could have put this wasted money toward.
