I have no idea why a film made in 1990 needed to be remade, especially considering the original was such a bona fide classic in the eyes of us simpletons who love gratuitous Paul Verhoeven classics.
 

But anyway, I have decided to watch the 2012 remake on Film 4 and unbelievably it’s actually worse than I imagined. I mean just look at the acting here:

It’s a dreadful movie and a pointless, remake although I agree about Beckinsale

Her scene in Whiteout still takes some beating though

I don't think it's too controversial a claim to say it's up there with the best films ever made.

Paul Verhoeven has quite the filmography.

The bit at the end where he lowers himself into the molten metal and signs off with a 'thumbs-up' is dogshit.

One of the worst takes in forum history.
