Terrible. I never watched the original series, so maybe I missed something, but I thought it was generally bad. The acting was poor (Jamie Foxx not exceptional, Colin Farrel typically brutal ala Alexander), the storyline was unoriginal, and the fact that both guys had to rescue their women separately (how helpless are women, jeez) seemed too cliche.
I had low expectations going in, and it certainly didn't meet them. How many clips of them riding a boat can you possibly show? It felt like they were in Venice...
2/5, and I think I'm being generous. I think it could have been much better had it been set in the 80's w/ an 80's soundtrack.
