Title: If it was an orginal idea, my rating might be higher...
Review: This is a very brooding, slow remake of the 1994 movie "The Cold Light of Day". Although I liked the original film quite a bit, this one was too slow and the ending stank.This version had Jack Nicholson playing a retired detective tracking a child-murderer. The acting was good and I was interested half-way through the film until I realized that this was an almost carbon-copy of the 1994 film.I had a real problem with the ending too. I think it was a mistake and made the whole exercise really pointless. Not to give anything away but to me, it would make more sense if Nicholson's character had to really deal with consequences of his actions with his newly found family.This movie is not really that bad, it just could have been better. A lot better...
