Yheeeaa! I'm Glad somebody noticed to! I'm about to write a post about it to!

I just saw Notorious and that's the entire reason I came here... it's such a shameless rip-off too.
shareTheir intent was to pay homage to Hitchcock, and they fully acknowledged the similarities from the get-go; now, where is the line between homage and rip-off drawn is in the eye of the beholder...

I noticed after I saw Notorious a few years later.
sharecool, i always though i was the only one that noticed it. there are certain scenes that are almost identical and of course the character constellation.
by the way, they copied one thing from north by northwest, when the one guy tells the villain that he doesnt trust her
Thank God someone else noticed it. I just saw Notorious for the first time, and after 30 minutes I was like "wait a minute..." No one believed me though.

shareWhether they "stole" or "paid homage to" the plot of Notorious is up for debate, but I will say that the makers of M:I 2 never tried to hide this fact. Screenwriter Robert Towne said from the beginning that his script was essentially a modern-day take on Notorious, and he made it clear that he was following the same plot outline.
Of course, I will take Notorious over this movie any day of the week. At least Hitchcock's film doesn't use slow-motion for every third shot, so it actually MOVES. I think if you took the slow-motion out of M:I 2, it would be about 50 minutes long.
