I thought it was an okay movie and Crowe did well but Affleck doesn't sell his role well and takes you out of the movie. I think Affleck is overrated but then all we have to do is think of Gigli. :D This was the movie I had to go to twice as the first time the power went out just in to the trailers. I also saw the original on PBS a few years back.
