Viewing Notes
It isn’t that this is a bad film (it is) but that it’s just so damn boring that makes it abysmal to watch. Or probably the combination of the two. It’s hard to tell anymore whether Nic Cage is sleepwalking thru his roles or just become a bad actor. Here it plays it seriously but it’s so hard to take him seriously. I’m disappointed in the Pang Brothers for taking the cash on this lousy remake of a truly awesome film. Now I want to re-watch the original to get the taste out of my mouth.
