It lacks the emotion and the suspense of the original film, the
brothers look like ex-frat boys and the mother dear god the mother
could she be any more of a polar opposite of the mother in the film,
did the actors, screen writers even watch the film?

I hope people take it upon themselves to see the classic piece of
Australian cinema.

shame on you, it is so typical of Hollywood to find something unique
and to water it down so much so that any trickle of originality is
gone.
