Loft (2010)

Genre: Drama / Thriller
Director: Antoinette Beumer
Starring: Anna Drijver, Barry Atsma, Fedja van Huet, Jeroen van Koningsbrugge, Katja Herbers
Duration: 108 min.
Rating: 6.6

Summary:
Five close friends, all of them married, share a loft to meet their mistresses. One day they find the body of a young woman in the loft. Since there are only five keys to the loft, the five men begin to suspect each other of murder.



Loft is a film directed by Antoinette Beumer, it is a remake of the 2008 Belgian film of the same name Loft (2008).  Almost exactly the same film, this one is set in Amsterdam and takes place in a slightly nicer waterfront loft.

Though this one features nicer looking sets and arguably a sexier cast, it does not match up beyond the surface.  The acting is not nearly as convincing and the score is a bit too intrusive, giving this an almost network television like feel (but without the censorship).  There are a few scenes executed differently to be of interest to those who saw the original, but all in all this comes across as a cheap replica.

Deja Vu, huh. Like I said yesterday, I'd be interested to see the American version.

Imagine that.  A remake that isn't as good as the original... 

And you think you can dethrone me on Shutterbug's blog?  Bring it!  :)
