Requim for a Dream is such a deep, dark movie. one of my favorite movies ever. I think I was more emotional wathcing after watching this then ahy other movie i've ever seen. I can't say I like the movie because it's depressing as hell, but its a great movie.
For George (via a poster on dvdtalk) (in regards to the 13 Tzameti american remake) Well this one seems to be stuck in distribution limbo/hell. I'm sure the closure of Paramount Vantage has a bit part in that, but as of this time it still does not have a US Distributor.
I wound up seeing this last night (... just keep the thread focused on the movie itself). I had completely forgotten about both this remake and 13 Tzameti despite having posted in this thread 2 years ago. It took me a few minutes to realize I had seen the movie before.
They added a little bit of unneccessary filler in the remake, but it was still an entertaining watch. I see it being popular on video for those that haven't seen the original once it's out of distribution limbo, it's well paced and has a ridiculously recognizable cast which swelled to include:
Jason Statham Mickey Rourke Ray Winstone 50 Cent Emmanuelle Chriqui (Sloan from Entourage) Michael Shannon (Agent Nelson from Boardwalk Empire) Alexander Skarsgård (Eric from True Blood) David Zayas (Batista from Dexter, he replaced Ray Liotta)
So far the movie has been released in Argentina, Greece, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Estonia.
For those that have seen, and cherish, the original, stick with that one. This one doesn't really improve upon it, though I didn't find the protagonist as unintentionally funny this time around. You can tell this movie was written/directed by someone with a less than perfect grasp of the english language with somewhat jarring delivery from time to time, but it isn't horrible.
Entertaining though I must say it does feel like a Straight to Video feature film, and that will be its likely fate sometime next year. __________________
