Oldboy (2013)
6/10
It was an OK movie

Warning: Spoilers
I think Brolin's act was good. And Olsen's was not bad. Samuel Jackson was entertaining enough, as well as old Moltisanti.

Then because it was a remake, I think the director wanted to make it a bit different from the original. So some main factors were changed. Like the reason the antagonist prisoned Ducett for 20 years.

And some little factors were erased. To make the length of the movie more compact. Like how obnoxious Ducett's younger version was. And how bad the treatment that the antagonist's sister had when she still lives.

Then again, there was a big cultural difference between Korea and US, and that perhaps what made the changes in the movie necessary? I dunno.

What I do know is that this movie, is not bad. So to the haters who can not be objective, they shouldn't be heard.
