If they did a remake

Against All Odds is a remake of the 1947 movie Out Of The Past. Out Of The Past stars Jane Greer (who plays Mrs. Wyler in the remake), Robert Mitchum, and Kirk Douglas. Except for a few subtle differences such as name and location changes, Against All Odds is just like Out Of The Past. While both movies are great in their own way, I have to say that I like Against All Odds better because of the beautiful Mexican scenery. Among the locations they used were: Cozumel, Quintana Roo, the Yucatan, Isla Mujeres, Tulum, and Chichen Itza. I love the old ruins and learning some of the history that Rachel Ward's character Jessie kept telling Terry.
