I pretty much feel the exact opposite. I'm a big McQueen fan,
as most people here probably are. but he's stilted here and
out of his element as this character. the capers depicted on
split screen have zero suspense. the chess motif had to have
been cliché¬ even back in 68. (I think it was 68). my quibble
with the remake is that Rene Russo is trying way too hard to
be a
"character"
