. but that probably because i be expect the bad movie ever make . this remake of the classic brit thriller be far from be the bad movie ever make but it be rather substandard . director stephen kay seem to have be influence by mtv and this show up in his directing and a funeral scene be accompany by a moby song and a punch up be accompany by rush holme with love by mint royale ( a track that seem to be to film soundtrack this decade what voodoo chile be to film soundtrack the last decade ) while the final sequence close with a track from grove armada . i do confess i do like mtv but if you don ` t you ` ll hate this directing style . there two aspect to the script that i dislike . one be the dialogue that try to be super cool with line like hold on there slick and all of a sudden you ` re the fin ` good guy and we ` ll take it to another level which sound false and unconvincing . the other be change make to the original 1971 movie . i win ` t spoil it for you but nearly everything from bleak original have be change to a completely inferior story . if you like the way everything work in the original you ` ll dislike the way everything play out here the cast be very uneven and strangely for a thriller it the female cast member that give the best performance especially rachael leigh cook and miranda richardson . it go without say sly fail a a violent anti hero while alan cumming be very annoying and camp . mickey rourke spend the entire movie posing and john mcginley seem to be on speed while michael caine make little impression . this remake isn ` t as bad a some people have make out though it not nearly as good a the original . i give it four out of ten .
