I had doubt when Writer/Director Michael Haneke decided to do a remake of his 1997 film but an exact shot-for-shot remake? I have mixed feeling about this one, I like the original so that must mean the remake is good as well, am I right? Yes and no, I got bored of the whole concept about 1 hour in because everything was so predictable. The only improvement in the newer version is the beautiful Naomi Watts. Oh about the movie, two psychotic young men take a mother, father, and son hostage in their vacation cabin and force them to play sadistic “games” with one another for their own amusement. The original is in German so even the dialogue appears to be more violent.
