Comments on: Point of No Return (1993) http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2007/08/10/point-of-no-return-1993/ Film reviews and commentary tonight, before I forget tomorrow Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:21:30 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Piper http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2007/08/10/point-of-no-return-1993/comment-page-1/#comment-1320 Piper Wed, 15 Aug 2007 02:10:36 +0000 http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2007/08/10/point-of-no-return-1993/#comment-1320 They missed everything on this remake. The biggest example of this is when Fonda drops off the room service tray and then walks away. In the Nikita, the idea was that "maybe this wasn't such a bad gig after all" because nothing happens. Of course in the American version, the scene ends in a crazy explosion. I knew we were in trouble after that. Actually, I knew we were in trouble the second I heard they were remaking La Femme Nikita. I saw this with my girlfriend. When we finished I couldn't stop talking about Nikita and she agreed to go back to my apartment and watch it with me. When we were finished watching that, she said she liked Point Of No Return better. It was hard for me to stay with her after that. So tell me you're going to cover Ocean's 11 in all this.
