D.O.A.

Rating:
Summary: not exactly hitch
Review: Although I liked this film, it's probably because I was an early teen when I saw Quaid and Ryan together in Inner Space. This remake is NOT directed well; it's perhaps the sloppiest directing job I've ever seen. Chemistry is nice between Quaid and Ryan again, but it kind of creeps you out that there's supposed to be an age difference here (I really don't agree that Meg is convincing as a 19-22 year old), and Stern is as menacing here as he is in Home Alone. The script is fairly predictable even if you haven't seen the original, and in general the point of this movie was to showcase the two main stars, not to make a good remake of a good but weird old movie.

Summary: One of the best videos that I have ever seen!
Review: D.O.A. has got to be one of the best movies ever created! Not only was it beautifully acted by Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, but it was so intense that there was never a moment where you would consider turning it off. Quaid plays an English professor that has been given a deadly poison that gives him only 24 hours to live. He decides to spend the rest of his time alive finding his killer. From accusing one of his students (Ryan) to thinking that it was another one of his students lovers, it keeps you wondering the entire time who did it. With plenty of action and romance tied into this cunning adventure, you will never regret giving D.O.A. the chance it deserves in your video collection.

Summary: Great suspense!
Review: DOA is the film that brought together Dennis Quaid & Meg Ryan. Both are superb in this remake and one of the movies that showed Dennis REALLY could act but for some reason he didn't get the acclaim and stardom peers like Mel Gibson & Kevin Costner still enjoy today.

Summary: Not one of megs best!!
Review: Lots of running around yelling, going nuts. Just very unrealistic. I would never go to see the movie at the theater. She has done much better quality movies. Neither she nor Quaid exhibit any acting talent in this movie

Summary: TITLE SUGGESTS ALL
Review: This is a remake of an old black and white film about a poisoned man who learns he has so many hours to live. Like a weird kaleidoscope of action and suspense finally dragged down by it's tiresome lack of identity. I didn't enjoy the original much either.

Summary: A Parody of the Original
Review: Unless you've seen the 1947 original, you can't appreciate this imitative parody. In the original film an ordinary man doing his ordinary job gets into a deadly situation. The original film is more credible in its events and characters. It may have been more believable to its audience.

This colorful version, whose everyday background contrasts with the original film, lacks the same credibility. While university professors may kill (Eichorn, Kaczynski), it is too much of a fantasy in this fictional example. Dennis Quaid has a little too much energy in him for a dying man.

One of the startling events in the original was to have the main character, the hero, die on screen. This was very unusual then, or now. This version could have been taken from MAD magazine.
