I was very dissapointed with this film in that it failed to capture any of the malice and madness of the original. Most of the characters were weak and most of the performances forgettable. What saves the movie are the performances of Tierny and Walken. They are intense and played to the hilt. However, LeGros fails utterly as the main character of the film, Walken and Tierny steal the show. Tom Guiry makes very little impact as Duncan's eldest son. This movie did have it's entertaining parts. All of them center around McDuff and Pat McBeth. All the time that those two are not center stage are times when you will miss nothing. On the whole, I think this movie is an okay "Sunday Afternoon Rental", but I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in the theatre.
