Movie | Oldboy | PASs

Remake of the original Korean film. So, how was it? Are the critics who say it's no good right? Absolutely not. This is a fantastic (albeit violent and gruesome at times) top notch thriller. I don't think it helps to see the original as you know what to expect, though Spike Lee and crew did a great job shuffling some details and plot twists. I think both films are equally superb, though the first gets the nod simply because it was the original and slightly more epic. But this is somehow more accessible in comparison, so there you go. Pick your poison. If you haven't seen that one and you'd rather not read subtitles, then go for this version!
