Oldboy

ActionAdventureDramaMysteryThriller104 min

Josh Brolin is Joe Doucett, a man suddenly released after 20 years of unexplained imprisonment in a bare room and handed just three and a half days to learn why he was taken. Back in the world with almost nothing to work with, Joe chases clues through a trail of violence, surveillance, and revenge, trying to piece together who controlled his captivity and what they want from him now. Spike Lee directs this American remake, with Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley joining Brolin in a story built around a ticking deadline and a mystery that began long before Joe got out.
