I was sorely disappointed by this remake, as I am of many of them. To try and create this as something it's not and never was meant to be was a HUGE FLOP. It would have been better off if they left it alone and kept the original ending and intent.
The thing that saves it at all, as others have commented I am certain, is the character portrayed by Bette Midler and the homosexual couple. Other than that, a total waste of Hollywood dollars. I want to rent the original now to get the bad taste out of my mouth! What a waste of Walken, Close, and Midler not to mention lovely sets and an original idea that could have been an interesting remake. Happy, sticky, backward ending ruins the whole thing.

This movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time. I LOVED the creativity that the plot demonstrated; that alone is enough to make you adore this film. The switching from black and white to color also is really effective to help distinguish scenes, since his life(protagonist) is so messed up and confusing that the movie can be confusing as well, if you aren't paying close attention.
For me, this was a great and absorbing movie that is fresh and has so many intricacies it's hard to keep count. It totally deserves the rating of #9 in the top 250!

Timothy Hutton is great in this flick as a young guy who uses his talents to avenge a problem in his family. When no one listens, he, by any means necessary, does something about it!!! I think it is a fun older movie that I always enjoy.
