Review of Wicker Park

Wicker Park (2004)
8/10
not as good as the French original
25 March 2006
I was aware of the fact that it is a remake of the French film "L'apartment" from the 5th minutes. The plot is exact and the scenes are similar. It is a pleasant film and make my wife happy, however, it is far from as good as the French original. As I remembered, although quite a long time ago, the red color was a strong clue in the French film, or the actress's acting is more powerful in the French one? This American one only presents romance but lacks the emotion and power presented in the original film. I don't like the ending of airport. I can not remember exactly, but I suppose the French film stops at the park and maybe will a remote glance. The extra explanation to his rich-girlfriend make him looked weaker than ever and is a waste of time. By the way, the apartment is not a charming as the French one, same is the hotel they meet.
