Why was this allowed to happen

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2003)

Why does Hollywood need to make pointless remakes of great films.. first Nikita and les visiteurs (did anyone see the remake of get carter???)and now this!!! i saw the originals subtitled into english and i have to say that it was better than the remake, it made sense as a story and the acting was pretty good. how come a film has to be set in america with american actors for an american audience to like it?
