So I saw the trailer and thought this looked interesting. Jake is the lead in a few of my favorite movies and this looked like it could be a new favorite. It started at about an 8 for me and as the movie kept going I kept wondering "am I going to have to give this film a 10?". I was really into it. So I looked at reviews and saw people saying the original was better and this movie was nonsensical. For starters, I didn't even know this was a remake and so far everything was pretty coherent. I got back to watching and it was at that point it started going downhill. I haven't seen the original yet so I can't compare but I will say that after about half the movie things just stopped make sense for me and it didn't feel real anymore. In the end, all I could think was man this was disappointing. I could probably give this movie a lower score but I really enjoyed the first half and Jake was of coarse solid throughout the film. If you have seen the original and not a big Jake fan I'd say pass. Otherwise , it's a pretty good movie with some unfortunate problems. Cheers.
