In drafting my fall preview, I put Spike Lee‘s Oldboy at number nine on my list of most anticipated films so while I’m all for more marketing, I’m going to hold off on taking a lookie at this one. For those of you not bought in yet, take a look and see if this looks like something down your alley. Remaking the acclaimed Korean film from director Chan Wook-Park, this is sure to offer the viscus-smattered thrills that some of us crave and some of us cower from. Which will you be?
“Obsessed with vengeance,” the synopsis read, “a man sets out to find out why he was kidnapped and locked up into solitary confinement for 20 years without reason.” If you haven’t checked out the first trailer, you can watch it here but be aware that it, unlike this newest one, is not safe for work.
