While I miss the late Tony Scott. I disagree, that his remake is superior. Like he once said. When all it did is add more violence and cursing. With Denzel less interesting than Walter Matheu was. Will he survive the day, to bring his wife home a gallon of milk ? Who cares ? This is original is a better made mystery and crime film. With a fantastic cast at the top of their game and a funny yet brilliant ending.
