I don't feel (all of) your pain on this one

While the remake of Insomnia made me cringe (especially since I loved Chris Nolan's last film, Memento--maybe he should stick to helming his own scripts?), I don't think Swept Away was anything to write home about. I've seen several of Wertmuller's films and she leaves me cold and uninvolved with her characters.

Now, the real question, AFAIC, is why would Ritchie--a hyper slick director--direct such a low key movie like Swept Away? But given the way they re-worked and dumbed-down Insomnia (and missed all the nuances of the original), Lord knows what they'll do with Swept Away.

On second thought, I feel some of your pain afterall.
