Old Boy (2013)

I was skeptic already when I heard that they'd re-make this movie in Hollywood.

And well.. with all rights. This version was REALLY REALLY bad!!

They have missed so many parts that was essential to the whole movie.

I didn't like the acting either, it was too american and too much. I think it was sad how they could ruin such a great movie!!

Story
In 1993, alcoholic advertising executive Joe Doucett ruins a meeting with a potential client, Daniel Newcombe, by hitting on his girlfriend. Afterwards, Joe gets drunk, and goes to a bar owned by his friend Chucky, who refuses him entry. While stuck outside, he spots a woman with a yellow umbrella, before being knocked unconscious.
He awakens in an isolated hotel room and finds he is a prisoner. His captors provide him with basic hygiene items and meager portions of processed Chinese food, along with a pint of vodka with every meal to prevent withdrawal. Through the TV, Joe hears that he has been framed for the rape and murder of his ex-wife and that his daughter, Mia, has been adopted. After being prevented from committing suicide, Joe starts writing Mia letters, gives up drinking, and spends the next 20 years planning his revenge. He becomes a skilled boxer by watching televised matches, and compiles a list of everyone who might be responsible for his imprisonment, with Newcombe being the prime suspect.
In 2013, Joe watches an adult Mia being interviewed by a TV show called "Unresolved Mysteries of Crime", and claiming she'd be willing to forgive him if he returns. Suddenly, he is drugged and awakes in a box in a field, with money and a cell phone...
