Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn's nerve-shredding 1996 breakout movie, about an awesomely bad week in the life of the world's most luckless drug dealer, is remade here by Spanish-born Luis Prieto as a London-set exercise in amped-up, strobe-lit urban edginess, culminating in a great reason to go back to the original and forget this one entirely.
While assembled with a certain sleek panache and featuring a serviceably charismatic lead performance by Richard Coyle as the hell-bound dealer, the movie misses both the incrementally mounting desperation of Refn's original and its end-of-tether humour. Just say maybe not.
Even though I did enjoy it at times I have to say I was expecting a little more.
