"I didn’t think the remake was as good as the original with Robert Shaw and Walter mathiew. The original gets 100 percent rating and deserves it."

"A rewatch after a long time. Granted I haven’t seen the original 1974 film, but I really liked this film. Strong screenplay and filmmaking (editing in particular stands out). Fantastic performances from both Denzel Washington and John Travolta, who play off of each other so well. Travolta in particular is really great in villain roles.
Another reliably solid Tony Scott/Denzel Washington collaboration (their movies are always watchable). Highly recommended."

"To me, so not worth watching. Not done well at all. I love John Travolta but a bad guy? He just can’t do it. I would not even bother. "
