Customer Reviews of The Vanishing
LOVE this movie!!! I can't compare it to the original since I've never seen it so I'm sure this might not go over well with those like the original film. I love this movie for so many elements. Jeff's (Sutherland) tortured soul, the sweetness and vulnerability of Diane (Bullock), the gutsy, fiesty nature of Rita (Travis) and the downright creepiness of Barney (Bridges). I can't even look at him through most of the movie he's so eerie. This is an edge of your seat thriller from beginning to end and I'd give anything for it to be released on DVD in the US.
Don't judge a remake by the original!
While everyone seems to be blasting this film for being a "holywood ripoff" i think if you take another look you might discover something else. For me, I had never seen the orginal 1988 version, so i had nothing to be expecting when watching this. I loved the movie, sent shivers down my spine. Just how far would you go to find out the truth? Anyways, the actors were all very well cast and did a fantasitic job! I loved this movie, gave me the creeps. I suggest you open your mind up to a remake!
STOP COMPARING!!
Yes, it's a Hollywood remake of a Dutch/French "classic". No, it isn't subtitled. Yes, it does have a fantastic cast, most especially the gorgeous and talented Mr Sutherland. And sadly, yes, the ending is bad.
Let me get one thing off my chest, first of all. This is a remake...in a different language. All you sad acts who compared this to the original probably marked it down because it didn't have subtitles. Face facts guys, you only watch foreign films because it makes you feel clever, therefore any film that dares try and take a subtitled film and put it in a more accessible format can't possibly be good because it brings you down to the level of Hollywood 'plebs'. GET OVER YOUR OWN SELF-INFLATED EGOS!! Why you can't you enjoy a film purely in itself, without your damn incessant comparing using big words. You're not big, you're not clever; you are boring and narrow-minded. Foreign cinema does not broaden your horizons, it merely places you 3 steps higher on an intellectual ladder that exists solely in your own heads.
I, in my own little head, enjoyed the film. It was good, not brilliant, so I gave it 4 stars mainly to raise the average rating to save it from snobs like you lot. The ending, however, was pure Hollywood stilton but did not taint my enjoyment of the film; I'm not petty like some I could berate.
The gist of the film, basically, is that Kiefer Sutherland has spent the last three years of his life trying to find his missing girlfriend, Diane (Bullock), who was abducted and subsequently (yes, I know big words too. Foreign film fans beware!!) buried alive by the evil psychopath, Bridges (who acted a little hammily!). Travis plays the new girlfriend who must constantly live in Diane's shadow. As Sutherland gets furhter drawn into this macabre cat-and-mouse game with Bridges, so Travis must try to extricate herself from the situation.
The finale is fantastic, even gripping, and Sutherland is well on par throughout. My advice? Enjoy the film, forget it's a remake, and if you can't be satisfied with that, stick your head up your own hmm-hmm-hmm and buy the foreign film so that you don't waste mine, and other people's time, with your incessant whinging and ego-boosting. BIG WORDS AND FOREIGN FILMS ARE NOT A SIGN OF INTELLIGENCE!!
