Obsessed with vengeance, a man sets out to find out why he was kidnapped and locked into solitary confinement for 20 years without reason.
Suitably grim and bloody yet disappointingly safe and shallow, Spike Lee's Oldboy remake neither surpasses the original nor adds anything new to its impressive legacy.
Verdict Overall, Oldboy with a distinct unconventionality and bizarre nature, is a well attired but cold and emotionally reserved film. Worth a watch if you have not seen the original.
