A remake better than the original.

You posted this for attention right?

In my point of view both sucked and sucked big time.

Both were uninteresting on all levels for a major studio release to put this garbage on a silver screen.

Both of them are direct to video grade movies and no more and when you consider that the remake's budget was ~ 65 mil in 2000's $ it's a miracle that those involved with this motion picture were able to still make movies in Hollywood.

English is not my native language.

He biggest problem with American films today is that they try to be all things to all people; today every film has action, romance, gay romance, mystery, confusion, comedy, etc.. In trying to do everything, they do NOTHING well, and wind up a mish mash of a movie. Stallone's version is guilty of this. As far as Caine not being the great strongman physical specimen needed to be a successful assassin, the best are simply average, non-descript people who you would never suspect of being professional killers. Life does not imitate art here.

This 2000 American remake of the English film is better than Mean Machine - the 2001 English remake of an American film.

Obvilsuly, a controversial post. I accept both films for what they are. That way they are both entertaining, just on different levels.

Better is an opinion. I won't opine on that, but I think this version deserves more respect than it gets. Two different takes on the same story.
