Oh come now Pinky.
I suppose you'll be telling us next that the book was much better !!
Remakes always have to compete with the original, but there will always be those that insist the original was far better even if it wasnt.
I saw the remake of this some months ago overseas and I thought it was done pretty well.
Not nearly as boring as the original.
Hardy Kruger was a great actor as was Richard Attenborough and James Stewart.
Giovanni Rabisi is an outstanding up and coming actor that you will be reading about in years to come and did a fantastic job playing the "engineer".
My overall..........7.5/10.
