Review of Oldboy (2013) by Jeremy C — 01 Mar 2014
This movie did one thing better than the original. It had a realistic fight sequence with 20 dudes. Additionally, I thought the new ending was as good or maybe better. Brolin did a decent job as well. Beyond that... It is shit.
No chemistry between Brolin and Olsen = You can't cast/ didn't understand the original Spike Lee.
The football field scene= GARBAGE!
The excessive gore into an already gory film= GARBAGE!
The wasting my time in putting Samuel L. Jackson in a film to play himself and take away from the actual story = RIDICULOUS GARBAGE.
I literally don't understand how a person could make this and Inside Man.
