Review of Oldboy (2013) by Steven B — 26 Apr 2014
There was a lot of nice action and elizabeth olson is appealing to the eye. To my eye, also Sharlto Copley is always appealing. And at points I really thought this movie was more about showing naked men than anything else.
Still: I really didn't like that movie. The progression of the story was so ridiculous. Unlike other movies with similar mysteries, you had not a glimpse of a chance to solve it in advance of the protagonist. Even more silly was the twist at the end. It just came out of the blue - in a bad way.
It reminded me of Inception where plotholes simulate deepness. In this movie, storyturns without any hints in advance simulate "great twists". I was do disappointed :(.
