Disappointing
I'd been meaning to watch this film for a long time, 2 great actors & an interesting story. I like to read the book now as the film was so poor. The sets were quite impressive but the script and acting was at times very amateurish, it seemed so contrived in parts. McQueen & Hoffman appeared to be going through the motions at times. I'm not a big fan of remakes generally but there could be a grittier, more realistic film here with the right script & director.
Very surprised it was rated so highly, maybe it looks worse now with the passing of time.
