Review title: Van Sant's direction a tribute to the original
Product review: This movie was terrific in that Gus Van Sant set out to tip his hat to Hitchcock, rather than "out-do" him with modern blood and guts. I can't help but admire the faithfulness to the original, while at the same time giving audiences the added visual verve of color and contemporary acting talent.Specifically, Vince Vaughn plays an exquisitely insane Norman Bates. Even his performance was, I thought, a tribute to Anthony Perkins. Anne Heche was wonderful as well. One of the real heroes of the film, performance-wise, was William H. Macy. His investigating-out-of-towner was expertly done. Also, it was a welcome surprise to see Robert Forster play the psychologist at the end of the film. All in all, a well-crafted re-make. Hats off to Gus Van Sant!
