A remake that is actually better than the original


While this movie isn't great, it is one of those rare remakes that actually exceeds the original. It stays close to the original (including some of the same dialogue) but exceeds it in every possible way, not bad! I've actually seen it a couple times now, never thought that would happen. This remake I'm sure was another cash-in remake effort by Hollywood, but regardless, it's an entertaining film, which is more than I can say for the majority of remakes in recent years. Plus, you can't go wrong with Ted Levine.

Movies I really enjoyed in 2011 - 1. Bellflower 2. Hanna 3. The Artist ....That's it, folks!

I actually compiled a list of remakes and originals, and counted how often I preferred the remake. It was around 50% of the time.

It's not rare at all for a remake to best the original. Flip a coin.

I believe it, and i have only seen the orginal. It was super disappointing
