Description

Oldboy follows the story of an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement without any indication of his captor's motive. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment. His quest for revenge leads him into an ill-fated relationship with a young social worker (Elizabeth Olsen) and ultimately to an illusive man (Sharlto Copley) who allegedly holds the key to his salvation.

    Come on, Apple, where’s the South Korean Park Chan-wook release? This version is flaccid and pointless. Please offer the old Oldboy for purchase.

  • Original Meh

    I didn't really like the original over this version. It could be because I like Spike and Josh and just couldn't get into the original actors.

  • Horrendous. Where’s the original?

    This is a remake that is an absolute middle finger to the amazing original Korean version. Why is the original not on iTunes?

  • Like it !

    I don’t leave reviews, actually this is my first one. I have skipped over this movie a hundred times. But, recently I stopped and read the description, simply because I am a fan of Josh Brolin’s work. I am really glad I did as this film was a Great Surprise! Throw in a world class mind f#@* and Samuel L Jackson and it’s a winner in my book!!!

    If comparing the two I understand you may want to give it a three star rating because you like the original better. I give them both a 5. Yes I also like the original better. If I were to rate all my 5 star ratings among themselves this might get a three star rating. It seems people are rating it strictly against the other. This is definitely not a three star show.

  • Better than the original

    I have now Watched both- was so sure the Korean version would be even more phenomenal- but, alas, not the case. Plot holes or translation issues. Both beautiful movies nonetheless. Wow.
