Better than it had any right to be !!

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2003)

I dreaded the thought of this remake when it was announced, but I'm glad to say my anxiety was misplaced.
I think creating a (mostly) new story with a few tips of the hat to the original was definatly the way to go.
The leads are adequete, but its the support cast (Sutherland, Statham etc) who really make the film & I'm glad they weren't sidelined like they could've been in other star vehicles.
Kelly Brook fans keep watching the end credits for a surprise cameo !!
