Brian Tallerico wrote, “The foundational problem with a film like this is that the lack of personality forces the viewer to consider the plot, which is a load of utter nonsense. Suspension of disbelief is so much easier when a film gives you something else to hold onto, which is just not the case here, leaving viewers stuck with shallow characters and ludicrous plotting”. I suppose I agree with that, but my thoughts have been occupied with comparisons with the 1981 version. Marthe Keller, one of the stars of the 1981 film, has a cameo appearance as a florist in Paris. I’m guessing the reason they remade this is to create a new franchise?
