I rented Criminal with John Reilly and one of the guys from Y Tu Mama, Tambien. Early on, the plot seemed familiar to the point where I was guessing what would happen next, not a good feature for a crime caper type of movie. Then I realized that it was a remake of Nine Queens, an Argentenian flick that came out a few years ago and which I recommend. The remake was faithful to the original except for some minor changes that made the whole caper not make a lot of sense. If you're going to remake any movie, even a foreign flick, you should do it in some way that improves on the original.

Sort of the way Thurgreed has remade himself on the internet.
