Summary: What would you do if you had 20 years alone to work on self improvement? If you were Joe Doucett from Spike Lee’s 2013 remake of Oldboy, you would write letters to your daughter and turn yourself into a killing machine hell bent on revenge. Joe was just your average early 1990s scumbag advertising salesman that had a less than stellar record as father and husband and was not too slowly drinking himself into an early grave. After a night of ruining his career and wandering the city drinking like a fish, Joe wakes up alone in what appears to be a small motel room. Joe quickly learns that he has been kidnapped, imprisoned and framed for his ex-wife’s murder but has no clue who would want to do this to him or why. His only connection with the outside world is the television in his room that he uses to watch news shows and workout videos. Joe eventually begins to plot his escape but is suddenly released from his solitary prison and sets out on a mission to get both answers and revenge. While it might not be as good as the 2003 original, this film is still a fun revenge flick with a good cast and a crazy twist.
