Bad news on the doorstep:
Can't think of any.
Perennial wonderment:
Why is it so hard to come across acceptable Hollywood remakes? In what must be a labour of love for writer-director Matt Reeves, Let Me In
follows the Swedish modern classic closely in terms of texture and
direction. All the important scenes are skillfully retained and we have
two very able child actors in Kodi Smit-McPhee (Viggo Mortensen’s kid in
2009’s The Road and Eric Bana’s kid in 2007’s Romulus, My Father) and Chloë Grace Moretz (the foul-mouthed Hit-Girl from 2010’s Kick-Ass).
Smit-McPhee looks very comfortable playin the frail, bullied boy who
finds an unlikely friend in Moretz’ completely conflicted vampire
character. There are intentionally restrained roles by Richard Jenkins
as the vampire girl’s guardian and also Elias Koteas as a stern cop with
many murder cases to solve.
Reminds me of:
Near Dark (1987).
Most memorable line:
"I don't really get cold."
Amacam joker, berapa bintang lu mau kasi?
Polished and wonderfully scored, Let Me In is much more
than just a spookfest and you’ll find rich themes of friendship,
sacrifice and redemption – even sexual frustration and family
dysfunction. Avoid readin more details about the movie from anywhere
else. This definitely cut it as one of the most rewardin watches from
2010.
