Netflix Remake Of Iconic 1975 Japanese Action Thriller Debuts With Solid Rotten Tomatoes Score

Netflix has increasingly remade iconic movies in multiple languages to appeal to its diverse global audience. Notable examples include 2021's The Guilty starring Jake Gyllenhaal, an English remake of a 2018 Danish film. Netflix also remade Rebecca in 2020, starring Armie Hammer and Lily James, reimagining the same novel that Alfred Hitchcock previously adapted into his 1940 film of the same name. The reception of these remakes has generally been mixed, with critics often comparing them unfavorably to the original versions.
