One user pointed out that you cannot separate the movie from the man who filmed it: “I don't even love this movie, but it's definitively Sam Peckinpah and you'll have to change a lot to get it to work without him. I don't know how much was changed in the Baldwin/Bassinger version but I know the reception wasn't great. Ditto the Straw Dogs remake. Whether you think the things Peckinpah did in those movies worked with him doing them or not, I don't think you can argue someone else could have done them better. You could make a pretty compelling relationship drama without the Al Lettieri character, and it could be really interesting and challenging, but there's not much action in that.”
But the thread shifted when people remembered the source material. Jim Thompson wrote the 1958 book, and his ending was not a happy ride into Mexico. It was a surrealist horror show about an underground city of criminals who end up turning on each other.
If Netflix stays true to the book instead of trying to remake the film, they might find something new, the internet mused. Another user agreed that the text belongs to anyone brave enough to shoot it: “You know the Peckinpah film was an adaptation, right? The 'perfect film' wasn't a new idea. Books are the perfect thing to be adapted by different people in different eras with different interpretations. Neither of the previous two adaptations were faithful to the book.”
Craig wrote The Batman, so he has a history of dark thrillers. Director Philip Barantini is behind the camera. He made Boiling Point, that is famous for having one continuous, 90-minute shot without cuts.
It seems film buffs don’t want a copy of the iconic Steve McQueen saga. But fans think that if Netflix goes full psycho noir, they might actually enjoy the ride.
