Reasonable idea, shame about the girl

Rating: 3/10 (28 November 2006)

The idea is alright - an updating of the story to the 21st century - but for me the film is horribly spoilt by the portrayal of the daughter.
The adaptions of the plot, such as the insertion of a son and daughter for the protagonist and a different emphasis on the 'tunnel' scene do not affect the film, though neither do they enhance it.
What destroyed the film for me was the incessant whining and screaming of the daughter which really prevented me from enjoying the film without a hand on the remote's mute button.
I'm willing to concede that it is probably a good piece of acting from the young actress and a realistic depiction of what a young girl would do in that situation.
I give the film 3/10, not a complete disaster but not a film I'll watch more than a few times.
