i just happen to watch this movie on tv . after a few scene i realize that it be a remake of truffaut very entertaining la sirene du mississippi ( 7 . 1 imdb rating ) . like all of hollywood remake that i have see so far and this one be just a unsatisfactory ( to say the least ) a all the others ( the day of the jackal and the manchurian candidate etc . ) . all of the review i read ( the first 20 or so ) be all rave about this in my opinion silly remake . they be too young to know that many and many year ago there be so much good original ( mostly european ) which be also express by imdb rating ( for the day of the jackal 7 . 9 vs. 5 . 7 and for the manchurian candidate 8 . 4 vs. 6 . 7 ) .
