Another lame "remake"

Rating: 1/10 (5 March 2004)

Shame on Hollywood for thinking it can improve on the original. Apparently the screen writers only saw the original once and then I guess it was a bit too sophisticated for them. The characters are cardboard and provide none of the charisma of the original. The only similarity is the use of mini cars (left hand drive) but even this is a tentative link and not really enough to allow this film to have the same title. Now if they had given it a different title then maybe I could have accepted it as a standard Hollywood action movie or the sort of film to watch when hungover.
