A running account remake

I haven’t read the introduction before I saw it. I didn’t expect to have Ethan Hawke. I still remember his wonderful performance in "Love at Sunset". I really like the look in this kid's eyes, with a wicked look, plus the cynical corners of his mouth. , Absolutely, but the performance in this movie can be said to be lackluster. It was originally a remake of a commercial film, and coupled with a running account-like narrative approach, there is really no room for development. The movie story itself has no flaws, but the whole drama has no focus, no details, no shocking scenes, and it feels plain and tasteless. If it weren't for Ethan Hawke, I might not have finished watching this movie.

Sgt. Jasper O'Shea: Those girls are dead.
Iris Ferry: [Everyone looks at Jasper stunned at what happened without hope] . We don't have a God damned chance. Do we? Sarge!
[frustrated at Jake's lack of response]
Iris Ferry: . Sarge, God fucking damn it! The five of us can't hold them back. They're going to take out each and everyone of us. What are we suppose to do, Sarge?
[Jake zones out as he asks himself that question]
Iris Ferry: . What are we supposed? What the fuck are we supposed to do?
[Everyone continues to glance at Jake as he ponders Iris's plead for help]
Jake Roenick: [clueless and hopeless] I don't know.
[Jake leaves the room while Jasper, Iris, and Bishop look on]
