I was extremely scared for the remake of Oldboy. 2008's Oldboy is one of my favourite foreign movies ever, and I had high expectations. Well, while not perfect, I was quite happy with the Hollywood remake of this cult classic. Even if it was totally unnecessary. THE GOOD: Great acting, perfect pace, well made, well shot, directed in a great way, plot twist was well executed, incredible fight scenes. THE BAD: The ending felt a little short and not as great as the original. This movie itself was totally unnecessary. Why was this remade? At least they did a great job. OVERALL: 2013's Oldboy remake is a very good remake of the original one. Although totally unnecessary and not as great as the original, Oldboy is worth checking out. RATING: 8/10.
