I rented "The Recuit" over the weekend and was completely underwhelmed. Colin Farrell's performance was really weak. It might as well have been Freddie Prinze, Jr. The music was horrible. And the story did nothing to engage me. It's all the more disappointing because this storyline of intrigue around CIA recruits has so much potential.

This all brings to mind something that I've been thinking about for years which is why movies get re-made. It seems that Hollywood has a passion for remaking movies that were good. Movies lke "Pshyco" and "Cape Fear" are good examples. This makes no sense to me at all.

What I think is that movies like "The Recuit", which sucked in the original version, should be remade. Start from scratch, fine tune the script, rework the score and turn it into a movie worth watching again and again.

Can you think of any movies that should be remade?
