A fairly pointless remake...

Reel Film Reviews
Rating: 2/4 --
Desperate Hours is an attempt to take a 1950s crime classic and remake it by turning up the heat, but Cimino has set the heat too high, and the result is an overwrought melodrama with dialogue even a True Detective editor would question.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
It's an overblown remake of William Wyler's 1955 film The Desperate Hours.

The Dissolve
...Sleek....It's like a mix of A-thriller and grand opera: full of crazy opulence and arias for both Rourke and Hopkins...

Rating: 3/5 --
Pales to original w/Bogie, but still tense
Kansas City Kansan
Rating: 4/5 --
A crackerjack hostage drama that's well directed by Michael Cimino, gorgeously shot by cinematographer Doug Milsome, and acted with fierce intensity by Rourke and Hopkins.

Product Description:
A remake of the 1955 Humphrey Bogart thriller, DESPERATE HOURS reunites director Michael Cimino and star Mickey Rourke in a richly photographed film filled with emotional and physical violence. Bosworth (Rourke), a brutal criminal on the run, takes over a house occupied by an unhappily married couple, Nora (Mimi Rogers) and Tim (Anthony Hopkins), and their two young children. Bosworth has escaped from jail with the help of his attorney, Nancy Breyers (Kelly Lynch). The film circles around the interactions of the hostage family and Bosworth as he waits for his accomplice and plans his escape to Mexico.
