This remake suffers for the original be a near masterpiece leading by superstar Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw, in such status whatever the outcome it was fated at contempt, also directed by the legendary figure of Sam Peckinpah that increase the gap between both, nonetheless seems to be almost criminal the mere 5.8 of rating gave by IMDB's users along all these years, sounds at first look be purposeful, still Roger Donaldson made a robust and decent job here, Baldwin is miles away of McQueen, although he tries to hard overcame himself, already Kim Basinger are one step ahead of the skinny MacGraw, her sex appeal lifts the movie beyond, an action packed movie that holds the audience with a non-stopping breathtaking sequences, has some holes on the script as well, though it didn't wreck deep damages as a whole, plus the supporting casting as Michael Madsen and James woods are smirking and foreseeable as usually the gangsters are, also the ambiguous and sexy girl Jennifer Tilly is awesomely cogent, strengthening the storytelling with mastery, further the long chase car sequence and the hotel clash aside a bit contrived are enough to improve the high adrenalin rush, my DVD come out during the transition of VHS into DVD and wasn't a proper restoration that the movie deserves, hope in near future it comes to light on the real format with bonus material and fully restored!!
Thanks for reading.
