Review title: For Psycho-philes only
Product review: Why see the Gus Van Sant remake of Hitch's most famous film? One reason only: If you've seen the original and are curious as to what Gus got up to. Sad to say, it's not much. But let's get real. After the touchy-feely-cuddly, let's-pander-to-all-the-overachieving-masses glop of Good Will Hunting, it's safe to say Van Sant has long lost the indie spark that lit films like Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho and most recently, To Die For. If Gus had only followed his own vision, instead clinging to Sir Al's, this might have been a good film. Van Sant thinks that shooting this one almost by the books is an homage----but in fact it insults Hitch in the worst way. Can you imagine Alfred Hitchcock hacking out a remake of "Citizen Kane"? It's called originality and courage in your own talent, Gus. Check into it, and OUT of the Bates Motel.
