I have to say that the remake to The Vanishing, is an exciting, tense well acted thriller. I have seen the original and enjoyed it, but I felt there was something missing. I do like the original ending of The Vanishing, but with this version, the ending they used worked with that version. Jeff Bridges goes from sympathetic(you actually like the guy) to scary, Keifer Sutherland does a great job playing a normal guy strung out on too much coffee, but the real star is Nancy Travis. Her no B.S. attitude really plays well and she does it with such percision that she actually steals the movie. This is the movie that shows how well she can act. Plus the score also makes the thriller very moody and showy.
Give this another chance.
It gets four stars from me.
Four out of Four Stars ****
