I'll start right away with the obvious, this movie is definitely unnecessary. The French original is a great movie, it was a big hit and it wasn't made so long ago that a remake is needed. The only reason I see is the Americanization of films and the prejudice that they don't like films with subtitles. A short introduction, and now a little about the film. Although this is a pure remake, it is not exactly the same as the original. Some things were added, some were taken away, mostly there are changes. My impression is that the changes were not for the better. However, looking at this film as a whole, I must admit that it was not bad. The main actors did their job. Cranston was great in his role and Hart was solid, bringing a little humor but not overdoing it.
Finally, the conclusion, a completely unnecessary remake of the great French original. I wasn't interested, but I knew I'd look at it at some point out of curiosity. I can't be a hater of the movie because it wasn't bad, enough drama and some humor, but nowhere near the original.
