First of all...they had a tough task to live up to the original. And the larger than life hero types that have been casted with people like Arnold Sylvester Stallone and others....it's very difficult for someone else to pickup the role in a remake. All of the little snide comments from Arnold in the original just made the Houser part. I waited all night for Colin Farrell to shoot Kate Beckinsale and say " Consider that a Divorce". The movie went from one action sequence to another with just bits of dialogue which made the plot difficult to follow. With the dark tone to the lighting it was often difficult to tell if it was Beckinsale coming after Farrell or Biel coming to help (they needed one of them to not have long dark hair...the hairstyles were too similar). I really wanted to love this movie....but it just didn't happen.
Pros cool special effects
Cons hard to follow, remakes are tough
No, I do not recommend this movie.
