A pointless, mid-grade remake of a Korean masterpiece. It has the eye of Spike Lee guiding it, but it if you've seen and appreciate the original like myself, you understand the difficulty of following up such a grand piece of work.
It goes back to the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.".
