Couldn't disagree more with Cazwegian. The 1960 original is aimless, completely lacking in character development, takes forever to go anywhere, and doesn't have an ounce of cleverness to it. The remake is vastly superior on every level, starting with the exceptionally more focused screenplay as well as the tight direction from Steven Soderbergh. I know film is generally a subjective thing, but I don't think I could take anyone seriously who actually thinks this version is better than its remake. 9 years 4 months ago

In my entire life I didn't think I would ever say that I liked the remake better than the original but after seeing this one, the time has come. We can't help but compare it to the newer one, but Vegas seems less glamorous in this film and relatively easy to knock off. With the three giants of Sinatra, Martin, and Davis Jr., you'd think there would be enough star power to get things rolling but it never quite hits its mark. If the movie were a game of Blackjack, I think it would be a few numbers over 21. 4 years 5 months ago

One of those rare times where the remake is far better. I'm not even sure if age is the problem because I was watching part of a silent movie the night before, and that seemed faster moving than this. 6 years 8 months ago
