By far. Better stars. Better writing. Better director. Better.

And I like Denzel.

Remakes are seldom better than the original -- Just One I can think of ---"Monte Walsh", A western, A TV movie BUT I say better than the original

I wonder why they kept the same title when it was almost completely different from the 1959 book and the original 1962 film? They even tacked on a Hollywood happy ending.

The original had an epic martial arts apartment fight scene, the remake was sorely missing that.
