Another US Remake that Misses the Point - Speak No Evil review by Tank
Much as McAvoy tries hard to shine in this US remake of the far superior Danish 2022 original film of the same name, this version completely misses the point of the original story, which highlights the decline of the traditional strong male head of the family, neutered by modern liberal ideals. Once again it demonstrates how Hollywood sees the World, and how 'good times create weak men, and weak men create bad times', while leaving the women to girl boss their way out of situations that no real world scenario would play out. Watch the original, and avoid this inferior attempt.
