Biggest Swing

The film steadily declines from a passable opening to a universally reviled ending that critics felt betrayed the original's powerful conclusion.

Critics found this remake started as a bland but watchable retread of the French original before deteriorating into a neutered, illogical mess. The film's biggest failure was its americanized ending that removed all the philosophical weight and impact that made the original memorable. Most reviewers felt it was an unnecessary remake that disrespected superior source material.
