with various older relatives complaining about Hollywood’s lack of imagination and inability to make new films, with new narratives

this remake shows them that a re-envisioning does not always ruin a classic (ala remake 1997 of Vanishing point)

its classy well made and manages to keep you interested to the bitter end

Alright

It wasn't the best John Travolta movie I've seen, it was alright. But it wasn't BAD either.

Not being a big Travolta fan, I reluctantly went to see this with hubby and son. I was very surprised to find it fast paced, exciting and very enjoyable. Excellent performances by John Travolta and Denzel Washington.
