Review of Oldboy (2013) by Teddy V — 14 Mar 2014

To say that this movie was a tenth as good as the original is an insult to that masterpiece. It starts out decently well enough, takes a bit of license where appropriate, does essentially nothing to build any of the characters other than Brolin's, and then jogs through the entire third act in about ten minutes.

Spike Lee, you suck, and Sharlto Copley, you need to beg and plead for a District 9 sequel, because that's the only character you've managed to do right. This piece of shit is exactly what I was expecting it to me, a huge fucking waste of time and a disappointment of near vomit inducing proportions.
