Michael Pitt, despite creeping the hell out of me and being part of Gus Van Sant's mumblefuck "Last Days," is a pretty good actor. And I've read reviews that say this movie is quite possibly the most unsettling movie they've ever seen, which does nothing but pique my curiosity. I'm pretty psyched to go see it when it gets a wide release. Anyone else amped? Or know when it is being released nation-wide (limited release is this Friday).

I would be remiss if I didn't say that Tim Roth is the fucking man too.

For those that aren't aware, it's actually a remake of a German film. Same director, though.

I saw the trailer in front of "Strange Wilderness" which by itself was weird. No one plays strung out quite like Naomi Watts. Is it wrong to think she looks her hottest when she's crying?

Hey, Rodriguez remakes the same movies over and over again too...

Just saw it... and I am firmly convinced that I will be one of the few people that really like it.
Obvious message within the movie, delivered very well. And it fucks with your mind a bit, which is always a plus in my book.

Didn't the Wilson brothers remake Bottle Rocket like two years after they made the first version?
Kubo, I understand that in the original there was a pretty crazy bit with a remote control. I won't say more in order to avoid spoilers, but you'd know what I mean if you saw it. Is that retained in the new one?

Completely retained. From what I gather, the entire thing is a shot-for-shot remake. One thing I will say about the remote scene- it's a very clever/subtle way to emphasize the point of the movie.

That doesn't count. They shot a black and white short film (of the robbery without the robbery) and then used it to get financing to shoot the film. A tactic I'm highly in favor of.
