Unlike 98% of other reviewers, I do not care this is a remake (of an equally bad and sick movie) so my review is purely based on the material here. Bad acting (Brolin alternates between wooden and over the top; Sam Jackson and Copley are just full-on over the top). Ridiculous, vile and pointless plot. Predictable and laughable "twist" (nobody can mold anyone into sleeping with someone). Useless movie. Worst of all, Spike Lee abandons all principles and seems to copy/paste every angle with no rhyme or reason and splashes buckets of such ridiculously gratuitous and graphic violence, complete with over the top sound effects, that you half expect people to start flying around on visible wires while making exaggerated faces and crap kung fu movies cries. What a waste of time

Old Boy is a movie starring Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, and Samuel L. Jackson. Obsessed with vengeance, a man sets out to find out why he was kidnapped and locked into solitary confinement for twenty years without reason. Old Boy (2013) is a remake of a movie with the same name from 2003, now i just watched the original film today and i absolutely hated it and to be honest this one is way way better. First of all i really enjoyed Josh Brolin in the title role and Elizabeth Olsen was pretty damn good although the big twist regarding their characters was a little bit stupid, Jackson was over the top a little but nice, overall a film that i enjoyed alot but it's no classic either. (8/10)

Studio: All right, Spike. What do you got for us? Spike Lee: OK so let's do an Oldboy remake! Studio: OK that's great and doesn't sound like a complete waste of time! So tell us some of the changes you'll be making. Spike Lee: OK so let's make Oh Dae Su's name Joe! Studio: Sure! Why not?! Spike Lee: Let's also make Oh Dae Su in this version basically Superman where he feels no pain from every stab or punch. Studio: But wouldn't that take away the tension of every scene, making the action scenes look more like they came out of a video game rather than people actually fighting. Spike Lee: Hold on! Let me continue! Studio: OK. Spike Lee: Remember how Oh Dae Su was just a troubled man and more relatable before being kidnapped in the original? Studio: Mhm. Spike Lee: Let's make him an unlikable asshole! Studio: But why? Spike Lee: So we can "Americanize" the film and completely ignore the necessary South Korean culture of the original. Studio: K. Spike Lee: Remember that sex scene in the original Oldboy that was motivated? Studio: Yeah. Spike Lee: How about we don't do that? Studio: What do you mean? Spike Lee: Let's just do it completely unmotivated with these two characters who are "Oh Dae Su" and "Mi-do" that have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever or any hints at a romance at all! Studio: You're losing me, Spike. Spike Lee: Wait! I got one more thing! Studio: This better be good. Spike Lee: OK so remember the villain of the original Oldboy and how threatening he was since he was played by such a menacing actor. Studio: So you got Jake Gyllenhaal to play him! Spike Lee: No. Studio: Jared Leto? Spike Lee: No! Studio: Then who? Spike Lee: Sharlto Copley. Studio: That sounds awful, Spike. Spike Lee: But I made Do The Right Thing so this has to be good! Studio: That was 30 years ago, man. Get over it. Spike Lee: But it has Josh Brolin! Studio: *$$ eyes appear* GREENLIT!
