Spiral
Working in the shadow of his father, an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective Ezekiel "Zeke" Banks (Chris Rock) and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city's gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer's morbid game.

I think the movie was alright, overall, with the caveat that they at least acknowledge where they came from and what inspired the movie. I think if they'd done it without a single nod to the original, this would have felt like a totally cheap, shameless rip-off. On it's own merits, not bad, had some really good moments and reveals.
