(2013) Compulsion
PSYCHOLOGICAL MYSTERY DRAMA
Unconvincing "301/302" from 1995 remake directed by Cheol-su Park, this version directed by Egidio Coccimiglio has Homicide Detective Reynolds (Joe Mantegna) asking, apartment 301, Amy (Heather Graham) about the whereabouts of her neighbor, living in 302, by the name of Saffron (Carrie-Anne Moss). As Amy is telling her story, we get to see how both of them first meet as we see how she's an compulsive cook. While Amy is an obsessive cook and Saffron is a struggling actress who doesn't like to eat very much at all. What are the odds surrounded with people who love to eat that they were going to be forever linked to one another. One of the major problems with this film is the fact that everyone likes to eat good food, and this film doesn't seem to realize that. It somehow dictates the entire environment to only involve three people into Amy's life and none of them seem to like to eat good tasty expensive food. The original 1995 version may be much more credible, because much of us are not familiar with the South Korean environment, and to have this film made for North American audiences would not be a possible transition at all, as far as how much expensive restaurants charge for an exquisite meal these days.
