Title: Come on everyone, you can't be serious
Product review: With all due respect to the other reviewers of this film, I must nonetheless admit to being baffled by some of the contributions here. Even to think of remaking Sidney Lumet's 1957 version is sacrilege but to actually go ahead and do it is incomprehensible. Whatever the merits of this film -- irritatingly made to fit in with P.C. faddishness -- it will always be compared to the original and how anyone can make a favourable comparison again I find hard to understand. The 1957 version is one of the greatest feats in cinema history not because of the special effects but rather because of the lack of them. What a gamble to make a film entirely (barring two shots)set in one dull, stuffy room but it was a gamble that paid off. One of the truly great but criminally underrated films of all time. Watch the original and shun the remake.
