Oldboy remake

WTF


Josh Brolin and Samuel L. Jackson and directed by Spike Lee

It got pretty bad reviews. Anyone heard much about it? I watched the original years ago and it was awesome.

Looks horrible unfortunately

I went and saw it with my girlfriend and her friend who is a film major. He indicated the original was a great film, I haven't seen it. I found this one very odd and not my style of movie at all.

Watched it yesterday. I saw the original and just didn't get it. Probably had a lot to do with the language translation which is never good with Japanese to English, but the movie was pretty fucking awesome. SOOOOOOO fucked up. Josh Brolin is a fucking monster in this movie. Samuel L Jackson has a fairly small role but he does it well I guess. I fucking hate Spike Lee and his racist ass, but this movie was pretty fucking good despite average to poor reviews. Then again, I like fucked up movies like this. Definitely redbox worthy. I think I might actually watch it again though. Hopefully it won't be a Walter Mitty situation.

Anything with Spike Lee's name on it is pretty much shit. "Here, let me invent some imagined racism for my characters to get upset about!"

The original is Korean.

Asian American please, dude

The original is Korean.

Whatever.

Talisman, the main characters in this are white and it never really hit on any race topics. Give it a shot. You might like it.

My wife and I watched it over the weekend. Needless to say the original was far better. Such a fucked up concept though. Worth a watch, for cheap or free. I wouldn't go see it in a theater.
