I just finished watching the movie, "Old Boy". My brother had said that it was one of his favorite films so I had high expectations for it.
Let's discuss this movie...
My quick 11:40am opinion: The film picks up a large amount of momentum in the first half, but wastes it in the second half by trying to tie up too many uncertainties instead of maintaining the pace that was established in the first half. :)

Good film, the Hollywood re-make is going to be utter shite.

I loved this movie! Didn't think it lost anything for the last half, it just turned more into a psychological thriller than the first part was!

I love it when people assume that just because hollywood has their hand in it its automatically going to be awfull.

well maybe not awful, but its a pointless remake of a recent film and I doubt this kind of film will transfer well to Hollywood. I mean, no other country remakes recent American films, why can't they just stick to being creative themselves instead of making remakes and sequels all the time? Is it a superiority complex? 'We can make it BIGGER and BETTER because we are Americans?'
Anyway, I liked the film, very original, a difficult subject handled well and had some amazing action sequences, especially the one in the corridor with the hammer.
