I'll certainly watch it. I don't mind Spike Lee in dosages and I really like the cast for this. I've seen the original a few times. Yeah, it's a fairly decent revenge flick but it's not some sort of masterpiece that shouldn't be touch or something :/
It's a film that relies heavily on violent and surreal images as well a top performance from the lead geezer, Choi min ski. That's about it for me, tells me nothing about the theme of revenge and all the consequences. It's a film that's pure shock value. Still entertaining but not amazing as people like to make out.
I'm sure this is a pointless remake but so was The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and that got good reviews. I will see this this week. James Ransone is underrated.
