"This adaptation of the D. H. Lawrence novel examines the relationships between two sisters and their respective romantic partners in post–World War I England. Ken Russell does a fascinating job of exploring themes of jealousy, lust, homosexuality, fidelity, and social class in a challenging and often pointed way. He turns the notion of virtuous love on its head and, in true Russell fashion, throttles the characters and the audience, unflinchingly asking them the deeper questions that we typically dare not even ask ourselves. There are breathtaking locations, arresting cinematography, and a wrestling scene that makes Viggo Mortensen’s nude knife fight in Eastern Promises look tame. As with all Ken Russell movies, be prepared to have this one on your mind for a while after the credits have rolled."

Clumsy, uninspired, and - let's be honest - pointless and redundant remake of the British gangster classic. Stallone is as clumpingly inarticulate as ever as a gangster seeking the truth about his brother's death; various surprisingly good actors are roped in but get virtually nothing to do. For appearance's sake Michael Caine comes back, in the not-exactly-plum role of Cliff Brumby.

The plot is mostly just the same as in the original movie, although the magnificent desolation of north-east England is replaced by somewhere nondescript and American, and bleak nihilism is gone too, as that's not what Stallone's audience wants: instead there's a dull old plot about a man out for redemption. It's all sort of watchable, but it's hard to really think of a reason why you'd want to.
