Eh.
Minor spoilers throughout.
I don't like how they shoehorned that extra motivation in there, that kidnapped daughter shit is kinda hacky at this point.
I had forgotten about a couple of other big Americanisms until I saw that trailer.
Sex and violence.
So here's what's gonna happen:
The sex scene(s) are gonna be all sexy and hot, instead of having the sick desperation and awkwardness that the original had.
The violent scenes, particularly One Vs. Many (the one with the hammer and the elevator that was featured prominantly in the trailer), are going to be...I don't even know how to describe it. More absolute? Less human?
What I liked about that scene in particular was how real it all seemed. It wasn't like Batman, it was like a real guy. He got tired, he missed, he made some real unprofessional clumsy moves. At the end, he's just trying to catch his breath. I loved that, and it made me identify more with him than if it had been the standard power fantasy we've grown accostumed to.
I think we'll probably see something more along the lines of Taken, where he's just a total badass.
The one change I predict that doesn't bother me is the kidnappers motivation at the end.
