He ain't no Rutger Hauer

So they took a movie that had a story, TONS of suspense, twists and turns galore, great acting and turned it into a pushbutton gore-fest.

What a waste.

The story was simplified. Why? (It's not like the ORIGINAL story was too complex)

The suspense was replaced by blood & guts. Again why? (The suspense was what MADE the first one!)

In the end, I'd recommend NOT seeing this film.
Instead of dropping 10$+ on this, head down to blockbuster and get the original and have enough change for a pizza.

Better story, better experience.

(And Rutger Hauer makes a WAAAAY better bad guy!)
