the 1999 remake of gloria and be an insult to the great john cassavettes and who write and direct the original in 1980. sidney lumet prove that he be not even in the same league a cassavettes . this new version completely lack the energy and the intensity of the original . ridiculous melodrama and overblown sentimentality be the only thing sidney lumet have to offer . and sharon stone act ability seem laughable when compare to gena rowlands and who originate the role in 1980. rent the original and skip the remake . make cassavettes proud .
