★★★ · A bit better, for an early flick · billstyler · 2017-01-16
Watchable, predictable, but good work by new actors and some veterans. All-in-all, worth my time to be entertained by a much-used story line with some differences that helped. I enjoyed it, other fans of old movies might also. Pre-mood-music (low budget?).
