I can't understand why they had to make this movie! A remake after a masterpiece (the original with Robert Shaw, Martin Balsam and Walter Matthau), with very weak actors, with little money (you can judge upon sets, action, everything...) They didn't had the money of the next remake, the one with John Travolta and Denzel Washington, which is just as weak. Lorraine
Bracco, a fake actress in everything I've seen her, is the most painful. Vincent D'Onofrio, Edward James Olmos, Donnie Wahlberg, Richard Schiff, they strive hard to replicate the script, they only increase the boredom. Tara Rosling, a woman cast as Mr. Brown, played in the original version by a man (actor Earl Hindman), is one of the most unconvincing actresses I have ever seen. In conclusion, if you want to watch a stupid remake of a masterpiece, watch this movie. Those 2 stars are for Vincent D'Onofrio, Edward James Olmos, Donnie Wahlberg, and Richard Schiff, half star each, because they tried hard...
