This version of a classic has been updated and pretty well.

Sharon Stone and Isabelle Adjani look so much like the main players in the original it couldn't have been a mistake casting them in this.

I don't know where the other reviewers are coming from. This is a story of cheating, lust, deciet and murder. Of course Stone is going to play that well. That is the momentum for the plot, without that, there is no story.

Having seen the original a number of times, all I can say is I wish they would have kept the original ending. It was by far better than this.

That is why I only gave it 4 stars.

Word to the wise.... if you like twisted mysteries that are convoluted, you should like this. But do see the original first, it's definitely worth it. This one is a decent remake.
