No one’s ever going to outcreep original thumb rider Rutger Hauer, certainly not The Lord of the Rings’ blandly rugged Sean Bean. But the sins of this Michael Bay--produced remake go much deeper. Eric Red’s sturdy genre script from 1986 has been diluted in the worst way possible. What was once a clever psychothriller about the split male mind has become—shudder—an MTV-ready chick flick starring the unconvincingly empowered Sophia Bush (the CW’s One Tree Hill). Even when cocking a 12-gauge, she seems a little lost. (Now playing; Click here for venues.) — Joshua Rothkopf
