Review of Oldboy (2013) by Brandon S — 06 May 2017
This movie is really intense but really reach-y. I kept thinking what the movie would have been like with Will Smith. After watching A Serbian Film, I don't think anything is really going to shock me.
This movie didn't. Yeah, it was fucked up but it felt like it was fucked up with kids gloves on. I also felt like Spike Lee was reaching pretty far to both grasp the original and throw it away. It's confusing and slightly annoying.
Enjoy.
