Smooth, well paced, well acted Remake.

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2001)

This movie is a very smooth, well paced, and very well acted remake of a classic which many thought was untouchable. For many younger generations, this version is far above the original.
The characters, the dialogue, the acting were all excellent. The first 45 minutes had a few slow spots and you could tell by the restlessness in the audience and then things started to happen.
Many surprises along the way. Those little plots within plots that keep you guessing and edgy for the whole movie.
Andy Garcia was SO Bad, so cold, so almost evil, you wanted him to lose his money.
A bit far fetched but very creatively done. Worth seeing and I mean more than once too!!
