Good concept, not a great movie


The concept was very provocative and interesting, unfortunately the execution was not handled well at all. This movie had a lot of potential and could've done some great things and said a lot about society but I got the feeling the creative people involved didn't know what to do with it. Also, the love triangle plot device, which can work well sometimes, felt unnecessary and maybe even took away from a potentially good plot. I vote remake, and I'm not big on remakes at all.

Yeah, I agree; good premise, I think it has its good points, but a bit off the mark overall.

I've been saying for years, if I could remake one movie with an amazing premise and infinite potential, which was squandered... it'd be this one.

And yeah, I hate remakes too.
