not as good as the original

Rating: 4/10 (28 September 2010)

if you are thinking of renting this film then hear me - STOP (collaborate and listen). The 2003 remake is a POOR cousin to the 1969 original. Watch the original and see the difference between class and copy. The original has ooddles (thats right 'ooddles') more to offer than this 2003 hollywoodisation. The original holds up excellently in terms of production values, cinematography and dramatic integrity plus a superb sprinkling of humour.... in the words of my country rent the original and "do yourself a favour" !!!!!! Michael Caine is the original lead and he trumps the mumbling hunk of meat that Mark Wahlberg is presenting in the this re-make.
