I can't believe that this piece of garbage was released. Thankfully, I got the DVD from the library, so I didn't waste a cent on this poor excuse for a re-make.
How low do standards have to go before they just stop doing all these pointless re-makes and sequels and actually come out with something creative?
That there were people stupid enough to put millions of dollars into something like this says volumes on the general level of intelligence of the film business mindset.
The film opens on what feels like the middle of the film, ignoring DePalma's great TV game show opening and thrusting us right into the reporter's investigation.
Why remake a great film if you don't have anything good to add to it?
Why remake a great film at all?
There's ten times the amount of blood and gore than the original, and it just shows the poverty of the filmmakers' imagination.
I never thought DePalma was a genius before, but now that I've seen how this film could have been made, I even like the original's stupid ending!
If there hadn't been some good reviews here, I wouldn't have bothered writing this. I can't think of one thing good about this film.
