Critical Reception & Ratings
Spike Lee's 2013 remake of Oldboy received a mixed critical reception, with a 39% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was not as well-received as the highly acclaimed 2003 original film. The IMDb rating of 5.8/10 suggests a lukewarm audience response as well.
Why you might like this:
Park Chan-wook's wildly stylized thriller, with its shocking twists and vivid exploration of vengeance, echoes Trainspotting's unapologetic embrace of the darkest aspects of the human psyche.
