"Oldboy" movie quotes follow the twists and turns of the 2013 American remake of the 2003 South Korean action-mystery film of the same name. Spike Lee directed the remake of the Park Chan-wook cult classic, based on the Japanese manga, using a screenplay by Mark Protosevich. "Oldboy" was released in the United States on November 27, 2013.
In "Oldboy," Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin) wakes up in a strange hotel room where he soon learns will be holding him captive. He doesn't know how he got there or who is holding him but has access to a television and receives food regularly. While watching television, Joe learns that he is the prime suspect in the murder of his ex-wife and mother of his daughter. 20 years pass during which he remains in the room, plotting his revenge and strengthening himself physically.
One day, Joe wakes up in a trunk in a field, seemingly free from his solitary confinement. He heads to meet up with an old friend, Chucky (Michael Imperioli), and soon receives a call from his former captor. Things only get more and more bizarre as the caller urges him to look at his life to determine why he was locked up and why he was released, learning that only after he can answer both questions will the safety of his daughter be secured. Along with Chucky's friend Marie (Elizabeth Olsen), Joe embarks on a mission to find the truth, get revenge and reunite with his daughter but what he learns only complicates his life even more.
"Oldboy" joins theaters already packed full of hits like "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," "Delivery Man," "Nebraska," "Sunlight Jr.," "Last Vegas," "Ender's Game, "The Counselor," "Bad Grandpa," "Escape Plan," "The Fifth Estate," "Captain Phillips," "Gravity," "Machete Kills," "Runner Runner," "Don Jon," "Rush, "Prisoners,", "Enough Said," "The Family," and "Riddick,".
