Remake?

The Dean Cain/Scott Wiper 2002 Sci-Fi flick "Dark Descent" is a complete ripoff of "High Noon," to the point that some of the scenes in "... Descent" are lifted almost completely untouched, save for a few name changes and such.

And by the way, "Dark Descent" is set in a futuristic underwater mining colony. Which is just the setting I'd use to make a "stealth" remake of "High Noon," since it'd be the last place anyone would ever think to look.

"Has anyone else noticed that this film is basically a remake of John Huston's 'Treasure Of The Sierra Madre'?"

No disrespect, but I think that's a bit of a stretch. While 'Sierra Madre' was admittedly called to mind occasionally when I watched this, I think if you claim this to be a remake, you'd have to lump all the 'greed for gold changing people' films into that catergory. The best argument I can think of for your suggestion is that Sadler's character was a lot like Bogey's- though the former was obviously trouble from the get-go, whereas the latter came as more of a surprise as the story progressed.
