This movie felt way too predictable and the acting is pretty weak. I love Jake Gyllenhaal's work, but this script didn't do him any favors. I felt like I saw the ending coming from a mile away, and I feel like this could've been played out a whole lot better. It is an interesting idea, but it feels copy-pasted from the original film that only predates this one by a couple of years.
Movie was good and worth watching.
Unfortunately, saw the original a year ago. Felt like watching on repeat.
I'm more in favor of original. Gyllenhaal was overplaying, therefore less authentic.
But not sure how situation would be if I watched it in backward order.
Don't know anything about the original. I thought this was pretty good movie overall, but the last ten minutes just completely threw everything off. Had a nice little twist to it, you knew something was off the whole time. But then they completely changed gears and threw that unnecessary ending on there. Still worth a watch and Gyllenhaal shows amazing acting skills as always.

Found it really gripping and tense with a great Jake Gyllehaal.Need to watch the original as everybody is telling.......but I liked this one as wel.

Go watch Den Skyldige (2018).This is an extremely lazy remake.

I can't speak on the original version, since I haven't seen it yet. I found this to be a great movie.MrDoog
A pointless exercise. Just watch the superior original
