Yea, think that was the first movie that made me like Clive Owen too. Denzel broke his "no sequels" rule for Equalizer (:francis: ), maybe there's still time for an inside man 2


Denzel was going to do Inside Man 2. Spike confirmed it. Jodie Foster was going to do it too. The studio hemmed and hawed and passed

Original is a great move. Denzel and Spike lee is a great team. I just would wish they didn't have to announce a remake....just say they are making a story about kidnapping and rich guy without the expectations to measure up to the og movie :yeshrug:

Toshiro Mifune stars as a wealthy industrialist whose family becomes the target of a ruthless kidnapper in Akira Kurosawa's exemplary film noir. Based on Ed McBain's detective novel "King's Ransom," "High and Low" is both a riveting thriller and a brilliant commentary on contemporary Japanese society.

The original is one of my all time favorite thrillers. This could be blasphemous and disasterous. Spike already fukked up remaking Old Boy and Denzel's Manchurian candidate wasn't seeing the OG
I like the remake of Manchurian Candidate better. The addition of the science angle made it more believable instead of it just being hypnosis. Also, Frank Sinatra is a terrible actor compared to Denzel Washington.
