This Roger Donaldson's rendition of Peckinpah's & Hill's cult movie let me unsatisfied at all. No comparison with the original, nor the direction (average enough) neither the acting: good casting but... forget Baldwin's and Basinger's performances.

That said and coming back to this Mr. Donaldson's remake, the other character actors are well casted and convincing: Marsden, a real "macho", and Wood (the "bad bad bad" guy) above all . Cinematography is in the average. If you don't have anything better to do...
