The movie is wonderful. It’s not as good as the original (even the handsome Armie Hammer can’t beat the charm of a young Laurence Olivier), but it’s worth watching for the wonderful acting and beautiful scenery. The original was also as close to perfect as a movie could be, and it’s hard to top one of the most famous psychological thrillers of all time.
