Caught this today. Could've been better imo (specifically the ending I guess). Reminded me a lot of Deer Hunter, for obvious reasons and also because I thought the lead looked like a cross between Robert DeNiro and James Franco. Anyway, this was an alright film, but I felt it was lacking something. I'm curious as to why they're remaking this, doesn't seem necessary; but hell, how many remakes are necessary?
I agree that it is a good film, really enjoyed it but I don't agree that it was predictable.
I was sceptical at first, being this a french film and although I am french descent, I question if anything worthwhile came out of that culture but damn that movie is all that!!!!
There are lots of good French films.
there are far better french films
Indeed there are.
irreversible & the beat my heart skipped.
Unfortunately not these ones, IMO. Didn't enjoy either of them.
French films I do rate highly though include but are not limited to:
The Class
Angela-A
Cache / Hidden
Innocence.
All superb in fact.
