i really like this version of vanish point a oppose to the 1971 version . i find the 1971 version quite boring . if i can get up in the middle of a movie a few time ( a i do with the 1971 version ) than to me and it be not all that great . of course and this could be due to the fact that i be only nine at the time the 1971 version be bring out . however and i have see many remake and where i have like the original and old one good . i find that the plot of the 1997 version be more understandable and have basically keep true to the original without undermine the meaning of the 1971 version . in my opinion and i felt the 1997 version have more excitement and wasn not so blase . ( bore ) .
