It was an almost identical shot for shot remake, which made it absurd. What was the point? There was absolutely no attempt at original direction; it took the story absolutely nowhere new and the original simply could not be duplicated (and it really shouldn't have been attempted, I expect more from Van Sant). The original is a much better film. The remake was completely pointless, just ridiculous when compared to the original and the acting is mediocre at best (sadly, Vaughn was the best thing about the film). Such a disappointment when you consider the sheer amount of talent involved in the movie.
But that is just one opinion.....:D
