Review of Oldboy (2013) by Jens S — 19 Dec 2017
The remake of the Korean mind fuck does not shy away from most of the unpleasant aspects of the original, but it's a leaner, less detailed version, which makes it somewhat easier to stomach. The result is sometimes unintentionally funny, sometimes brutal, but the mystery is engaging and the movie entertaining enough.
In other words: if you know the original, you won't need this. If you don't, this might very well blow your mind.
