I love the book, and the original...and Rachel Weisz.
I mean, you have to admire people who still make serious costume dramas like this, which don't have much of a chance of even making their money back.

I haven't seen the remake. Probably won't .Original is quite good enough.
The one thing that bugged me about the original movie.
At the end Rachel asks Philip "Why did you do it ?"
I've never gotten how she would know that he knew about the bridge.
I liked it. It wasn't a masterpiece but it was definitely well done. I think Rachel Weiss was perfectly cast. She was able to portray that slightly sinister quality of Rachel. I think she's one of my favorite actors working today. It's a decent adaptation. Iain Glen is in this, although not for enough for me. Love that actor. 7/10
