I decided to buy it after hearing that Micahe...l Caine and Jude Law had remade this classic, but like the "Get Carter" remake, it was a bit of a dissapointment. However, it is a real thought proviking thriller as each character plays off against the other in a game of cat and mouse that is all too believable a scenario now as it was originally. The movie itself is a shining example of the axiom "alls fair in love and war", and on the whole I enjoyed it. On it's own, it's fine, but against the original, it can't really compare.
This is a bit of an 'off the wall' film, which is ...very bizarre but also an enjoyable watch. Both Jude Law and Michael Caine act very well and play good roles. The concept of the film is different to what I was expecting but saying that it did keep me interested in to what was going on. It is a remake but I have not seen the original so I could not comment on how it stands alongside this. I enjoyed watching it but would probably not watch it again. If you like the slightly bizarre you will enjoy it!
Without a doubt one of the worst ...movies i have ever saw . hello , i watch about 10 movies per week , and have been an active film buff for many years , the original of this wasnt bad but the remake should have remained unmade ! . badly acted , very slow plot , non existent charactures . poor poor poor . do not waste your time . 1/10
