Haneke chose to remake for America the 1997 Austrian film, following the original with a literal English script. The story works very well in my opinion because it seems to have a life of its own. Key to its success is a great performance by Michael Pitt as Paul, one of two preppy kids who turn killers; Naomi Watts and Tim Roth are extraordinary as well. Watts, especially, gives her all in a mostly reactive role, moving from quiet neighbor to protective mother, to helpless victim in the end. The story is of course disturbing and distressing, extremely strong, and highlights the fleeting boundary between reality and fiction. Overall it's a stylish and satirical horror-thriller, raising many serious questions about violence and about Hollywood's audience requests.
