Art direction and lighting looks so cheap and lazy, performances totally wooden and forced. Lazy lazy location shooting in Malta — an arid Mediterranean island standing in for the equatorial jungle with a few sloppily transplanted palm trees to convince you. So so appallingly bad - it was so ripe for a great remake. Ugh
Papillon 2017 is effin awful

It probably doesn't say much that it was made in 2017 and even now is only just getting around to having a theatrical release here - even by local standards, that's bad.
Then again, I didn't think too highly of the original so I can't imagine this being particularly worthwhile anyway.

The original is great. But this is just the latest in the long line of remakes that I don't see my self ever watching.
