Oldboy (2013)

This is the American remake of the Korean film of the same name. this film is violent, but not frequently so as the original. Josh Brolin does a fine job at getting you on his side, with fine support from Elisabeth Olsen. The direction from Spike Lee is good, with some nice shots of the rainy city. Also, the atmosphere of the claustrophobic room that the character is trapped in is conveyed with a lot of skill for the audience to feel that way. The action scenes are well choreographed and have a stylised visceral impact. Overall, a very good film.
