When we discuss a remake, we’re usually talking about an
American revamp of a foreign movie. Hollywood sure does love to borrow plots
and characters from Eastern cinema, from “Seven Samurai” and “Yojimbo” to
“Oldboy” and, most recently, another stab at the “Godzilla” franchise. Well,
this East-West cultural exchange is, in reality, a two-way street. Granted,
most of the traffic flows in a single direction, but that doesn’t mean there
aren’t occasional cars headed the other way from time to time. This is the cast
with Sang-il Lee’s (“Villain”) remake of Clint Eastwood’s western “Unforgiven.”
