it was actually a vast improvement on the george pal version ... a film i have no nostalgic love for whatsoever (turned a fine british novel into american christian propoganda)
the only problems with the film i had were :
********SPOILERS**************
- the bullshit ending (the brother should have died - that was incredibly family friendly)
- dakota fannings screams were getting on my nerves
- tom cruise cast as a dock worker ? he's unable to pull that off.
- dakota fannings screams .. i'd have tossed her out of the car .. or at least threatened to if she didnt shut up
- 5' tom cruise getting the better of 6'5 tim robbins ... sure ...
- the deviation from the novel (its not present day america !!!! fuck !!!)
other than those minor details (well, the bullshit ending was pretty major as was the americnization of the novel)
it did have some extremely suspensefull moments, and terrific effects..
