Negative Positive
Title: EDGY..............
Review: Great move casting Oscar winners Pacino, Williams and Swank in this remake. A younger Pacino previously visited this terrain in "Cruising" and Williams began to show his darker side as the unbilled 'defrocked' psych in "Dead Again", as for Ms. Swank? Possibly a better choice that the risky "Affair of the Necklace" - this might put her back on the 'A' list. Also an odd career choice for the brilliant Christopher Nolan to direct this 'remake'.Despite the cast and budgeted location, this version disappoints somewhat. This version becomes a "star" turn especially for the male stars. The original is emptier, darker and far more unsettling ...... a dangerous blending of moral choices.Better to stay with fresh material!
