Oldboy is a 2013 American neo-noir action thriller film directed by Spike Lee, written by Mark Protosevich, and starring Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, and Sharlto Copley. It is a remake of the 2003 South Korean film of the same name, which itself is loosely based on the Japanese manga of the same name. It follows a man (Brolin) who searches for his captors after being mysteriously imprisoned for twenty years. Oldboy was released theatrically in the United States on November 27, 2013, by FilmDistrict. It received negative reviews, with many critics deeming it inferior to the original, and was a box-office bomb.
