A.A. Dowd
The film is needless, but is it useless.Fans of the South Korean version will experience serious deja vu watching Josh Brolin, the rugged cowboy star of No Country For Old Men, bash his way through a hallway of thugs with a hammer. ( Read More )
Owen Gleiberman
Josh Brolin, with his loping physique and handsome, hangdog scowliness, is like Nick Noltes volatile younger brother, and in Spike Lees rivetingly intense Oldboy, he gives a terrific and harrowing performance as a slimeball out for justice. ( Read More )
Justin Chang
In similar fashion, Lee and Protosevich have made a picture that, although several shades edgier than the average Hollywood thriller, feels content to shadow its predecessors every move while falling short of its unhinged, balls out delirium. ( Read More )
Matt Zoller Seitz
The studio that released Oldboy doesnt seem to like the movie any more than critics: it stifled pre release discussion by making reviewers sign non disclosure agreements, and forced Lee to shorten an apparently much longer directors cut. ( Read More )
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This retains the violence and deals with dark, subversive ideas as part of their plots. ( Read More )
