None, and I can offer proof:
-
The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974) the crime was committed without cell phones, but in the 2009 remake with Denzel Washington they had cell phones and still chose to commit the crime.
-
The Manchurian Candidate (1962) we have a political assassination without cell phones. But in the 2004 remake with Denzel Washington the cell phones do not stop the criminals from being criminals.
-
Man on Fire (1987) the crime is a kidnapping. Then in the 2004 remake (with Denzel) again we see the same kidnapping is still committed with cell phones.
You add cell phones and Denzel Washington to the situation, and seems like nothing much changes.
I see you brought your receipts. Here’s your return in full.

None.
Crime is primarily driven by poverty and other inequities when social supports are lost or dismantled. For the most part people turn to crime when they don’t have other options available.
Shouldn’t we see an increase in crime given the hard economic times we’ve experienced for the past 15 years?
