oldboy (2013)

"I want to get out of here and away from you as fast as possible."
It's 1993 and ad exec Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin) is at a make or break client meeting, which he ruins when he hits on the clients wife. Subsequently he is kidnapped and held in solitary confinement; During which he is set up for the rape and murder of his estranged wife. Twenty years later he is released and goes in search of answers and vengeance, but only has 84 hours to do so.
Entertaining reinterpretation of the highly original modern Korean classic, but not one that can hold up against it.
