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.

Digital Journal
[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.

One Room With A View
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.

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.

Assignment X
Rating: 2/5 --
This Oldboy is another pointless remake, and I couldn't swallow it.

The unraveling and ending of this who-and-why dunnit mystery is crazily twisted and a double blow to the gut.

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.
