Suitably grim and bloody yet disappointingly safe and shallow, Spike Lee's Oldboy remake neither surpasses the original nor adds anything new to its impressive legacy.

Everything is wrong with [Spike] Lee's version of Park Chan-wook's notorious, super-violent super-action-thriller. For one thing, it's far from super. Not the quality, per se (although, for Lee, that's off, too), but the energy. December 10, 2013 | Full Review…

Lee and his cameraman film from the floor, the ceiling, the drainpipes: anywhere to lend novelty, or fresh perspective, to tired, trashy material. December 5, 2013 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Why would we want to watch a chronicle of Joe's agonies, and the agonies he gets to inflict on others? Passing it up would be the best revenge. December 2, 2013

What 'Oldboy' leaves is the clear feeling of wasting time when what we should have done is to watch again, for the umpteenth time, the modern classic that is the Korean film. [Full Review in Spanish] April 15, 2020 | Full Review…

It's an enjoyable work of its own, less hyper stylized, with certain changes that make it more viciously pulpy and, surprisingly, seedier. August 29, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Spike Lee scrambles Chan-wook Park's story in a perfunctory attempt to be original, but too much is lifted from its famous Asian counterpart. June 8, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Oldboy is elaborate and complex, but that's not the same thing as being engrossing and deep. It winds up being a better riddle than it is a movie. January 19, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
