i be look forward to see bruce willis in this and especially since i remember be mesmerise by the original when i be young . this movie be a perfect example of how movie company can take a very good story and dumb it down until it just another formula ridden hype of the fabled american law enforcement system or army v and ( the russian . no sorry the cold war be over and make that with the russian ) vs the terrorist and similar to probably 50 other movie . furthermore it treat it audience like a bunch of idiot . the choice of weapon be well and plain ridiculous and be we seriously expect to believe that the world most feared and experienced hit man or terrorist would select that for an assasination . the whole point of the original story be the tense dual of intellect between the ordinary detective who be give the responsibility and the professional who craft a ruthless but elegant plan to reach his target and then get away . none of that survive . all we have be the tired old american cia or fbi or army v the evil terrorist plot and we have all see 1000 time before . but of course the movie company mba realise that a new intellectual angle here would lose them revenue from the short attention span gang and so the answer be . bruce willis and big explosion and a cripple plot . they assume the american audience wont be able to relate to a threat to a foreign statesperson ( where be france on the map afterall ) so it have be an american . another example of a movie defile by the boardroom .
