You get the money where you can, so Brian De Palma is making this Euro-pudding that is a remake of a French movie but makes it De Palma-y.
The French original had an older actress and a younger actress but here Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace seem the same age so it doesn't have that intriguing underside. McAdams seemed to suit the world of De Palma but Rapace didn't - but then I like McAdams more than Rapace so maybe it's just me.
I liked Karoline Herfuth as well and enjoyed the second half more than the first. There's a fantastic murder sequence and the delirious melodrama of key moments is entertaining.
