Gus Van Sant's remake of PSYCHO at least had an interesting premise behind it - is a clone of an art object in itself? We know the answer now :-)
This appalling remake of REAR WINDOW has only one use, and that a cautionary one. You can't improve on perfection.
OK - we all feel sorry for Christopher Reeve. What happened to him shouldn't happen to anybody. But giving him this role was either an act of misplaced kindness or one of cynical exploitation and CR's bank balance is the only thing that has benefited from this total abortion of a remake. Just about everything that was worth having in the original has been fubarred here.
I'll stop here before I become *really* abusive. Avoid this turkey like the plague.
