Nothing beats the original movie of John Carpenter with the original cast. The remake sucked big time. Laurence who? Darwin Joston as Napoleon Wilson is the frickin man here! - @Sunday, August 9, 2015 9:46 PM

Carpenter is a master of suspense. I remember seeing it for the first time and abandoning my homework because I was on the edge of my seat. He is not afraid to move slowly and take his time to build suspense. The remake lost all of that and was essentially an action film. Rush, rush, here, rush, rush, there... - @Thursday, October 2, 2014 3:18 AM

Great !!! - @Monday, April 7, 2014 7:48 PM

I was disgusted with the remake, but I was kind of expecting the original to naturally have had the bar set high really early... Too bad I was wrong. Very rare when you have both original and remake turn out complete shit. - @Wednesday, March 12, 2014 12:14 PM

I've seen both the original and remake and I love them both equally. - @Wednesday, January 8, 2014 8:20 AM

This original is so very timeless. The remake is 100% pure bullshit. But the only good thing about that one is watching Ja Rule end up with a bullet in his head. - @Tuesday, December 17, 2013 11:21 PM

Fantastic Movie! I cant belive that its never mentioned anywhere. Its one of the most suspense movies ive ever seen. If you liked this then you must watch Rio Bravo, AOP13 is pretty much a remake of it. - @Tuesday, June 18, 2013 3:30 AM

The trailer and music are cool but I heard that the actual movie sucked. - @Saturday, March 9, 2013 8:50 PM

Blasphemy! Lol...I liked it as well but preferred the original version. The remake had some great actors in it (aside from Ja Rule lol), but the original just seemed more tightly made with the tone being less overt and forced (it was just balls out action with that subversive grindhouse 70s feel). Plus the acting was great in the original as well (and I liked the original Bishop character more than Fishburne's take). Still though, enjoyed both. - @Friday, December 28, 2012 9:31 PM
