Title: Oldboy<\/p>\n

Directed By: Spike Lee<\/p>\n

Starring: Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L. Jackson, Sharlto Copley, Michael Imperioli, Pom Klementieff, James Ransone<\/B><\/p>\n

Despite striking visuals and Josh Brolin\u2019s all-in performance, the new \u201cOldboy\u201d fails to build a riveting, believable mystery strong enough to support its big twist.<\/p>\n

In the Spike Lee film, Brolin stars as Joe Doucett, a deplorable advertising executive who has all the time in the world to drown himself in alcohol, but none to spend with his daughter. During one particularly drunken night, Joe is snatched off the street and wakes up trapped in a small room. After 20 years of solitary confinement and dumplings, Joe is suddenly released and challenged to figure out who ordered his lengthy prison sentence and why.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve seen the Chan-wook Park original, it\u2019s impossible to experience this new version objectively, but Lee\u2019s rendition does deserve a standalone assessment first.<\/p>\n

Again, the concept is highly intriguing. Joe is an absolute jerk. Brolin doesn\u2019t just play the guy as a misguided man who needs to learn a lesson. Not only is his behavior at the office totally inappropriate, but a short while later, we\u2019ve got to watch him rolling around in his own vomit only to get up and continue drinking. However, even though the thought of having to spend one more second with Joe might make you cringe, when someone \u2013 anyone \u2013 is suddenly kidnapped and imprisoned, you can\u2019t help but to wonder why.<\/p>\n

Whereas Joe is utterly revolting prior to commencing his lengthy sentence, while in this hotel-like prison, Brolin delivers a masterful display that\u2019ll warp your perception of the character. It\u2019s a relief that Joe is off the street and getting what he deserves, but, at the same time, you can\u2019t help but to relate to the madness of being locked away, all alone and not knowing why. Then, Brolin amplifies that need to know further by showing Joe change. The transformation involves some rather outrageous incidents and ultimately churns out a completely different person, but even though Joe emerges anew, Brolin maintains a semblance of Joe\u2019s earlier self throughout, making his experience in the prison believable and engaging and, therefore, far more effective than the rest of the film.<\/p>\n

After spending a good portion of \u201cOldboy\u201d dying to know why Joe is locked away, his post-prison exploits should be particularly thrilling, but instead, it\u2019s quite the opposite because the answers to all the questions are so disappointing.<\/p>\n

The first most glaring issue is that Joe comes out of the prison with superhuman strength and combat skills. Sure, he passed some of the time by getting in shape, but you don\u2019t see too many people walking away from prison sentences with the ability to crush a band of football players without breaking a sweat. Then there\u2019s Elizabeth Olsen\u2019s Marie Sebastian who strikes a totally unsupported connection with Joe, compelling her to completely overlook the fact that she doesn\u2019t know him and he behaves like a violent lunatic. Joe\u2019s revenge mission does have some downright gorgeous fight sequences \u2013 namely a three and a half minute one-shot during which Joe takes out dozens of thugs \u2013 but not even the most brutal, sexy or thrilling scenes bear much weight because without the context of a powerful mystery, they feel more like fleeting visual treats and not essential components of a captivating story. After plowing through a narrative filled with elements that don\u2019t coalesce to create a build, you know there\u2019s no way to pull off that colossal twist and sure enough, \u201cOldboy\u2019s\u201d big finish falls totally flat.<\/p>\n

But the film\u2019s grand finale also begs the question, would someone who hasn\u2019t seen Park\u2019s original have the same reaction? Lee\u2019s film isn\u2019t a cut and paste, but the outcome is similar enough and knowing where Lee\u2019s rendition is going totally colors the experience. A similar issue cropped up with the recent release, \u201cEnder\u2019s Game.\u201d That book also rocks a big twist, but knowing what\u2019s coming there doesn\u2019t deflate the shock-value, rather it creates a highly effective sense of dread. Here, however, the chain of events don\u2019t support what\u2019s on the way, so there\u2019s this constant reminder that something isn\u2019t quite right and then the reaction, or lack thereof, to the big twist proves it. <\/p>\n

Lee creates a winning visual flare and Brolin clearly gives the role everything he\u2019s got, but when you\u2019ve got a film so heavily reliant on layers and wow-worthy plot points, even the most gorgeous shot selection and moving performance can\u2019t trump a tonally unsound, lame narrative. An \u201cOldboy\u201d reboot had a chance, the incarceration portion of the new film proves it, but without justifying the captivity in a fresh, exhilarating and shocking manner, you deflate the entire concept and also leave the viewer without the best takeaways from the original film \u2013 a pit in your stomach and a dizzying obsession with the details and horror of the scenario.<\/p>\n
