Like other reviews I read I thought this film was under-appreciated and while I didn't think it was great it was solid nevertheless. I actually preferred this film over the original as I thought the original lacked suspense and with this version I thought Jeff Bridges was terrific in his role as a quiet psychopath as well was Kiefer Sutherland trying to find out what happened to his wife. The film has an uneasy mood about it while watching it and actually does feel chilling at times which I didn't get out of the original and I liked it how this version has a different end to the original which some viewers complained about though I quite enjoyed it, you also get to see a young Sandra Bullock before she appeared in Speed who looks sexy and sweet as usual.
