Another addition to the list of
movies which should have never got made in the first place – this is a classic
example for makers of “What not to do while making a movie”, let alone remaking
a classic. Unfortunately it’s a remake of one of the most loved Korean movie of
the same name – which happens to be one of my all time favorite movie. It makes
me doubly glad to say that in comparison to this version our own Indian “Zinda”
looks way too good, imagine - this one is that bad. They have actually raped
the script / idea / premise in a royal way and this one will be remembered as
the worst movie of Josh Brolin and Samuel L Jackson’s career for sure. There is
no connect whatsoever with any of the characters – dunno what they tried
making, 15 minutes into the movie the movie and I knew it that it isn’t going
anywhere. The less said about the villain the better – oh my god – what a
tragedy of a guy they have picked up for this one. And I just read that while Christian
Bale was reportedly in talks to portray the antagonist character, but
it was later reported that Colin Firth had been offered the role. Firth later
passed on the role, which was later offered to Clive
Owen, In May 2012, Sharlto Copley had officially been cast as the villain. I
will definitely rate it 1/5 for somewhat different and pleasant ending but it’s
too painful reach the ending, skip it any cost rather pick up the original and
enjoy it.
