John Moore

Flatly retells a high-concept Boy's Life adventure story that's hard to break, but easy to bleed of its significance.

If you've never seen The Omen, the technically well-made remake is an effective chiller a cut above today's standard, but if you have, there's no reason to watch this rote replay.

Once blithely acceptable as American id, McClane's become the archetypal American idiot.
