I just watched it tonight and thought it was pretty lame. The cinematography was well done but otherwise really uninteresting.

You're crazy to think this but I guess you are entitled to your opinion. The Hollywood version will not come close in its visceral, physical effect it will have on the audience. It is in interesing hands tho, Justin Lin, who directed and wrote Better Luck Tomorrow. But he has to make it watcheable to the American movie goer, which means it will be "dumbed" down, with more stylized fighting and less surrealism.

I will probably check out Chinwoo Park's other flicks which oldboy was part of a trilogy.

The hollywood remakes of asian cinema have been horrible. The ring was just horrible as well as The Grudge. They did not do justice to their japanese predecessors, and were just spoiled in between the scenes heightened to go "boo". Shall We dance must just an absolute travesty and I will not for dear life watch it the American version. The only successful remake of a foreign film I have seen was Nolan's Insomnia. So far tho for Asian cinema, there hasn't been one that's been up to par with the original.
