"In 1993, alcoholic advertising executive Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin) ruins a meeting with a potential client, Daniel Newcombe (Lance Reddick), by hitting on his girlfriend. Afterwards, Joe gets drunk, and goes to a bar owned by his friend Chucky (Michael Imperioli), who refuses him entry. While stuck outside, he spots a woman with a yellow umbrella, before being knocked unconscious."
A horrible film with only a few interesting aspects. I think that Josh Brolin was a good choice for this remake but he wasn't used to his full capabilities. This is not a spike lee film, he's never done a film like this before. He played it safe, the killing was nice but not as gruesome or as realistic as in the original film. I like the addition of Chucky, the friend which is probably one of the only good things in the film. I hate most of the casting choice like Samuel L. Jackson for the role of the warden, it really didn't fit. The script was horrible, the plot could have been better and the acting was not as good as you would expect from a movie directed by Spike Lee. I suggest that you don't watch this film and only watch the original Korean version.
1/5
