CGiii Comment
A study into absolute cruelty.
A carbon-copy of Haneke's 1997 original - there's nothing quite like copying oneself.
It moves from low-budget Austria to big-budget America - but does it work?
For Americans - yes. Because, Americans do not watch foreign language films!
Even though Haneke has said that he had always envisioned Funny Games to have been an American story - is that a suitable justification for the carbon copy?
Laughing all the way to the bank...ha ha!

The(ir) Blurb...
In this English-language remake of a deconstruction in the way violence is portrayed in the media, a family settles into its vacation home, which happens to be the next stop for a pair of young, articulate, white-gloved serial killers on an excursion through the neighborhood.
