Clever and original piece of movie making

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2006)

A guy is kidnapped and prisoned for 15 years. He doesn't know why he was prisoned. Then he is released and is hungry for revenge. That's the basic plot of this movie. The story is great with many clever twists and turns. Sometimes the movie was a bit confusing but there is nothing too complicated. The movie was also a bit violent and included few realistic but cool fighting scenes although it's by no means an action movie. Hollywood is remaking this movie for the year 2006 and I think if someone like David Fincher directs and we add some great actors to the soup it could be even better for me at least. Not to say things were bad here. Just with a even bigger budget and things I can see this movie being even better if they don't change wrong things. They could sharpen the edges of this diamond.
