Jude Law is a resplendent actor and does his usual agreeable job in this remake. If you’ve never seen the recent you’d probably consider it was a decent enough movie. But if you’ve seen the new, with Michael Caine, you’d be wondering why they bothered to obtain this in the first place- especially the butchered version that resulted.

Like a lot of latter day remakes, this is very remarkable a prettified version of the novel. All of Law’s conquests have model well-behaved looks- as does Law himself, for that matter. He’s also a salubrious deal more refined, in accent and in manners, unlike Caine’s rather indecent Cockney. He moves about in lovely surroundings. And that loses an valuable element of the setting of the current. Alfie did not live in a handsome world, and his conquests were not necessarily shapely women; in great portion they were women whom someone else desired- and that was what compelled him to seduce them.
Caine’s (and the novel’s) Alfie exploited ancient women; for whatever reason, the director, or perhaps the producers, decided this Alfie’s conquests had to be original, strong women who utilize him as great as he uses them. That of course makes Alfie a splendid deal less of a cad; Jude Law’s Alfie is not leaving late the wrecked lives that Caine’s did, and he becomes almost sympathetic at one point- a sentiment completely absent in the book and the novel movie.

In the kill, this version misses the significant Alfie- his inability to discover flaws in himself, even as he rationalizes his actions and convinces himself that he’s doing the proper thing. The result is a shallow character leer completely lacking the depth and impact of the current.
Why does Hollywood sustain making remakes of classics that cannot possible be improved upon? This is a Shallow, tepid, very unpleasant remake compared to the Michael Caine, 1966 new. The performances, especially Jude Law (who is usually beneficial in film) are a disappointment. The direction is uneven and stilted. There are offensive scenes. I will stick with the 1966 novel and forget this mess.
