The best outcome of this movie is that it may bring you to watch the original 1989 version which is much better.
This 2024 version is shallow, as well as the story and characters. Extremely basic and predictable, unrealistic and full of holes. It has no connection to the 1989 movie's plot it's a different story.
Sure the main role of Jake is great, as he is a very good actor in any of his movies, but all the rest of the cast not really, maybe because they have small roles and minor screen time.
McGregor does what he is expected to do, meaning over provocative, basically he plays a psychopath who enjoys to hurt others and nothing more.
I'll give it 6/10 thanks to Jakes effort to look like a UFC fighter although he plays a guy who stopped fighting, training and eating like an athlete but is still ripped and in top shape.
If you liked the original, go see it as it's so much better, makes me miss Patrick Swayze and that old world that is so different that nowadays.
