About Oldboy

Spike Lee's 2013 remake of the cult classic Oldboy is a dark and twisted tale of revenge that will leave audiences both disturbed and captivated. Starring Josh Brolin as the tortured protagonist, the film follows his quest to uncover the truth behind his 20-year imprisonment and seek vengeance on those responsible.

While some fans of the original may criticize Lee's adaptation for straying too far from the source material, the director's unique vision and bold choices make for a compelling and visually stunning film. The performances of Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, and Sharlto Copley are all top-notch, adding depth and complexity to their characters.

The film's violent and disturbing themes are not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the journey, Oldboy offers a thrilling and unforgettable experience. Lee's take on the story may not please everyone, but it is a bold and ambitious work that deserves recognition.
