Toss up between Stay Away and Wait for Rental.

While it's not an awful film, I would not recommend it to anyone I know.

Film goes on way too long about nothing in particular. There isn't any real suspense and many questions are left completely unaddressed. I haven't seen the original, so I cannot compare it to that. On it's own, I didn't care for it.

Denzel Washington stars in this remake of the 1962 thriller by director John Frankenheimer, only this time the real enemy is cooporative greed not communist China. Washington is out to stop an assassination. Althought the 2004 version isn't as good as the 1962 thriller (believe me I saw both version) making comparison between the two is fun indeed. Especially Meryl Streep in the villian role. She comes off as very sexy, in other words she is hot. Liev Schreiber deserves an Oscar nomination. He nearly dominated the film.

This would be an awesome film if you have no clue what it is about. I felt it was too predictable, but that may be because I saw the original.

Not a bad movie, jut not as good as the original. Guess I expected maybe something new added.
