Well worth a re-make
I generally dislike re-makes but would like to see this one done.
In a good gritty style of course, something like Black Sea, no pretty-boy actors, no bimbos, no CGI, no shaky-camera.
A decent movie for ageing actors, an antidote to The Expendables or Red, with a decent script, not played for laughs...
I would suggest you could pick a good crew from Liam Neeson, Ed Harris, Tim Blake Nelson, Mark Strong, John C. Reilly, Idris Elba, Jean Reno(also hinting at the link to the French original).
The bridge scene would have to be included as that image from the poster is unbeatable.
