    Not as good as the original. However, it is well done and entertaining in its own right. Defiinitely worth a watch.

    Ok, I made a small error here, in that I requested this film expecting Hitchcock's original and hadn't realised a remake had been made.

    You can see the Hitchcock marks all over this film and makes for a great murder mystery, although I guess the elephant in the room here is th...( read more)at Christopher Reeve was able to play this role, having been paralyzed during his well publicised accident. Being a little Neurologically challlenged myself, I though this showed great character in Reeve, but I'm sure the critics will have made comments to the contrary.

    A film that made pretty good viewing in a 'slightly better than diagnosis murder' type of way.

    An ok thriller, brings it up to date with all the modern gadgets. However it has a very simple story and it's quite obvious as to what will happen.

    It is an OK thriller (should not even be attempted comparison with the Hitchcock one) notable mostly for Reeve's performance.

    Bad acting, cheesy, weird. Not worth watching.

    Think I've seen this, but I may be confusing it with an Outer Limits episode.

    Competent, entertaining update of the Hitchcock classic. Through his personal tragedy Christopher Reeve brought so much to this role....recommended.
