A truly excellent thriller, this U.S. remake of a Norwegian film retains the feel of it's Scandinavian genesis.
Tense, twitchy and enthralling with fantastic performances, potent settings, and a great script and direction.

Pacino plays an L.A. cop hiding from his own guilt while investigating the death of a girl in Alaska.
Robin Williams is chillingly convincing as the manipulative bad man, proving yet again that he was a masterful actor as well as a gifted comedian.

Spent yesterday evening giving my kiddo a film education in Stephen King... Pet Sematary and The Shining. Can't wait for the PS remake...maybe we will do a little Shawshank Redemption today before we celebrate Christmas early.

"Kurosawa and film history. After seeing The Magnificent Seven (John Sturges’s U.S. remake), I was introduced to this, and it became my first awareness of world cinema. A must-see for film lovers, Kurosawa at his best."

"Pure magic. Every fashion film and NYU undergraduate thesis takes its cues from this lyrical masterpiece. In college I tried to make a satirical remake entitled Lunchtime at Dangling Boulder, but all my actors slept too late."
