I enjoyed the original film but it's a long time since I watched it, so I watched this with only a vague memory of the Tim Robbins version. If you know the basic premise of the film from the original, it's a bit of a spoiler before you start but it has some differences. It was enjoyable until the final reel where it fell apart a bit. The acting is fine. Visually it's great. It may have been a not great idea to remake it, and ultimately a lot of it doesn't make much sense, but anyone giving this 1 out of 10 is really doing the film, and the IMDB community, a disservice.
