b,121b,121Actually Nick I don't think there's a single element in this movie that you and hundreds of others haven't rehashed hundreds of times. Garbage.

yep, even the name seems somehow hackneyed and contrived.

b,121b,121Steely Dan, Hall & Oates, yacht rock, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, anything written by Frank Miller, and shoes made for 12-year-olds all seem to be big hits on this board, so I wouldn't be surprised.

b,121b,121The name is "Engrish". I'm sure the producers of the OG didn't realize that the title made no sense in actual English.b,121b,121I actually love the original! When I saw the Cage trailer, I threw up a little. b,121b,121Seriously though, check out the OG. It's a great Thai flick, one of a few:b,121b,121http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0263101/

b,121b,121Thank you! This movie has been around for almost a decade, and they decide that now is a good time to have the original directors re-make a movie that was a re-hash of every possible HK cliche from the late 80s to the present? Wow. Why not bring the directors over here and have them do a NEW story that rehashes all the same cliches? Are the studios bankrolling this stuff really that scared to take even a small chance on new material?? Who is clamoring for this kind of movie in a multiplex when you could concievably spend the next 6 months of your life watching existing films back to back, day after day, with the same exact plot and visuals? WHO?b,121b,121I blame Sarah Palin.

b,121b,121Nah. As a foundation we don't really ride for GBH either. But since we're WGBH, we appreciate the play on letters. I have, however, been know to thump my tub while trying to shower drunk.
