Wow, what a smug bit of cr*p this movie is. It's easy to see why Warner just dumped it and then tossed it out on DVD with little fanfare.

I had never seen or even heard of the original movie and apparently this is a "shot for shot" remake....btw, what is the point of a shot for shot remake of any property? it sure as hell didn't work for PSYCHO.

So the movie wants to comment on the audience watching and getting some type of enjoyment from brutal violent thrillers, and then the movie revels in such violence. The ....using the term loosely..."writer" tipped his hand too early in having his Evil Golfers behave in the "polite menace" vein...but forgot to leave out the menace. They're laughable.

Oh so many ways this turgid piece of cr*p went wrong....breaking the fourth wall, the HIDEOUS remote control scene, the absolutely STUPID ending...poor Tim Roth was wasted in this..Naomi Campbell actually was a producer, so she has to take some blame as well.

Guess I just don't see the point of making a movie that betrays your audience and judges anyone who has paid money to watch your clumsy , ham fisted attempt at commentary.

Quoted from mikep ...apparently this is a "shot for shot" remake....btw, what is the point of a shot for shot remake of any property?

Really?  Is that true?  I have this in my Netflix lineup, but I am now considering giving it the old yankeroo.

I thought this would be an "American take" on the original film -- but no, I do not have much purpose for a "shot-by-shot", either.  Where is the creativity in that?

I saw the original, and it was an interesting experiment in that some of their decisions really took a few chances -- it was kind of out there -- but an American film making the exact same decisions is not really taking any chances at all.  In fact, quite the opposite.

Is it really a shot for shot?  Has anybody seen both?

They're the exact same movie. The remake just has better actors.

I liked both. I'm not a fan of the social commentary or violent movies that criticize violence in general (they don't work, they just make the director look like an ass, even if the movie is good). However I always saw the movie as a thriller where the killers are in charge of the movie, as if they were directing it the way they'd like to see it. I thought it was cool. Good flick, overall.

Whats up with the remote control scene. Did I miss something, or does that just not make sense?
