Apparently, the original movie is considerably better and although older, easier to believe (uses hypnosis). Brain and skin implants that cause complex behavioral changes? Sure! At least no extraterrestrials had to be involved.

It's an awesome movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time and never let's up definitely worth watching and destined to be an instant just like the original version

Close, but NOT as good as original Black and White version, with Frank Sinatra. Close, but "Close" only counts, in hand grenades and horseshoes!
