I'm not ashamed to say that I enjoy this version a lot more than John Luc Goddard's. I know this must seem like blasphemy to most, but this American counterpart is a lot more fun and worthwhile to me. I think the biggest improvement for me was Richard Gere taking the lead role. H... read more
A very good, steamy thriller about a man on the run who meets a beautiful girl and wants her to join him.
This remake of the classic French 1959 Godard film is very good drama, romance and a bit thriller. French actress Valerie Kaprisky is apparently the hottest in her debut English-language of USA movie.
Typically contrarily,Quentin Tarantino prefers Jim McBride's gaudy remake to Jean-Luc Godard's original. This pop-art cover version isn't actually half bad. I haven't seen the original yet,shame on me,but I enjoyed this one a lot.It's film full of energy and style,it was the firs... read more

The result is a stylistic exercise without any genuine human concerns we can identify with -- and yet, an exercise that does have a command of its style, is good-looking, fun to watch, and develops a ... Full Review
The attitudes on display are so distanced and derivative that the picture still seems to have no life or identity of its own. Full Review
A wanton, playful film, belying the stated despair by its boiling energy. Full Review
A much better remake than its reputation implies
An inferior remake, but trashy fun nonetheless.
Remaking a movie is always a dicey proposition. Remaking a classic is even dicier. This version of Breathless? No dice. Full Review
