MMMM... I don't know what I was expecting. I had only seen the original theatrical release some time ago. Disapointed with that version. I can't see anything remarkably different here. The basic product is flawed and no ammount of rejigging is going to create something amazing. I've seen Farrell in other stuff and he can act, with presence. See "intersection" I think its called, a great little Irish film where he plays a thug, very impressive. Real menace. Shame that was not allowed to come across here.
