And that my beloved readers is where I normally cut off, the film is not a remake and they have seem to have gone a new direction with it, to be honest I am not sure if this is a bad thing or not and for me the film was meh, not too good but not too bad either, to be honest I preferred the Schwarzenegger version better.
