Extraction (2015)

A former CIA operative is kidnapped by a group of terrorists. When his son learns there is no plan for his father to be saved, he launches his own rescue operation.

Quite mediocre spy thriller with lots of standard car chases, shoot-outs and duels, but hardly any substance.  

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

The spectre of a dead child rapist haunts the children of the parents who murdered him, stalking and killing them in their dreams.

Superfluous remake is well-made and adds a few details to the original story, but the question remains why start the franchise all over again?

Maltin**1/2: "Surprisingly well-crafted remake...Haley does a possible job...and the scriptwriters a few genuinely clever touches while updating the plot."
