completely unnecessary remake. - By: John Horan, 27 Apr 2008
this is awful,the original 1954 version is on of my favorite films,this feels like a contrived vechical for cristopher reeve (after a terrible accident left him paralyzed),do no watch buy the james stewart one instead.
Not nil but close to a draw, or is it a drawback? - By: Jacques COULARDEAU, 09 Apr 2007
The idea is great since it comes from a master mind of suspense. The main actor is also great because he plays his own role as a crippled victim of a dumb accident. But at the same time something is wrong in the extraordinary exhibitionism of these Americans who do not know what a blind is & who broadcast every single of their sighs to the whole neighborhood through open windows & paper thin wallls. It makes the voyeur in this case practicallly justified since there is no other way but hear & see. But that's too easy. It takes a lot of the secrecy of this voyeuristic knowledge out of the story. The suspense itself is even in many ways reduced, crippled. From a dark & frightening film we shift in this remake to a plain action film with a cripple as the main character who is beautifully rendered by Christopher Reeve, but that is not enough to make a great film. This remake is not reallly improving, nor even getting close to the original.

TERRIBLE - By: , 07 Feb 2005
With the exception of Daryl Hannah, this is a truly awful film.
It appears that Christopher Reeve (as sorry as i feel for him) uses this film to his advantage- it is more or less an account of his accident & the aftermath & fails to focus on the main plot of the film.
Dont watch!
