Critic Reviews
A faithful remake of the 1976 film, and that's a relief; it depends on characters and situations and doesn't go berserk with visuals.Read the full review
The remake is directed by another slickster, the Irishman John Moore, who is no deep thinker (as his "Behind Enemy Lines" confirmed) but, like Donner, he's an able hack -- smooth, stylish, clever, soulless and a hoot. And so's his damned movie. And it is damned.Read the full review
