Title: Don't even bother
Review: In fact, don't even think about it. That's the advice someone should have given to the producers of this remake. The original "High Noon" is a movie that cannot be improved upon. No one could possibly bring more to the film than Gary Cooper did. Tom Skerritt brings only a pale imitation. I rank this as the second-stupidest remake of all time. It's not horribly awful, like the laughably awful remake of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" with counter-culture kung fu star Tom Laughlin ("Billy Jack Goes to Washington"). It's simply bland and generally inoffensive. That is an offense in itself, however, considering what you could have bought with the same money. Okay, the producers of this film made a mistake, but you don't have to. Get the original and skip this tepid made-for-TV travesty.
