This somewhat unnecessary remake is very much on current trend, eschewing the more lurid and pulpy qualities of the 1973 original to present a relentlessly grim, dour and at times dull version of the classic prison tale. Charlie Hunnam is in his very-serious-acting mode which for the most part plays well, but Rami Malek would not expect an Oscar nomination for this one. The film has an interesting melancholic score, it is well shot, but it is also an unnecessarily very long slog.
