The remainder of the picture suffers from a predictable lack of originality. But the inability to consistently entertain is an issue of its own creation. Full Review

[Lee] and screenwriter Mark Protosevich find one or two ways to up the taboo-testing ante, small surprises that retain the tale's edge without pushing into the realm of exploitation.

Rating: 1/5 -- Spike Lee scrambles Chan-wook Park's story in a perfunctory attempt to be original, but too much is lifted from its famous Asian counterpart. Full Review

It's an unconventional action film whose closest American kin might be Christopher Nolan's "Memento." It doesn't all work, but it's fascinatingly conflicted. Full Review

Rating: B- -- Oldboy is elaborate and complex, but that's not the same thing as being engrossing and deep. It winds up being a better riddle than it is a movie. Full Review

Product Description:

An advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who was inexplicably abducted and placed in solitary confinement for 20 years seeks revenge against his mysterious captors in Spike Lee's remake of director Chan-wook Park's critically acclaimed 2003 thriller (adapted from a popular manga of the same name). Teaming with a young social worker in his desperate search for answers, the newly freed man falls into a treacherous web of conspiracy that could be his undoing. Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley, and Samuel L. Jackson co-star.
