Oldboy (2013)

5.8

Plot: On a rainy night in 1993, the uncouth, alcohol-dependent advertising executive, Joe Doucett, finds himself under lock and key for no apparent reason. Confined in a squalid hotel room, Joe has spent the last two long and painful decades of his life trying to determine the reason behind his mysterious abduction when, just as inexplicably, his sadistic unknown captor decides to release him. Now, with a new set of combat skills; his pockets crammed with cash to get back on his feet, and burdened with some serious allegations against him, baffled Doucett embarks on a desperate quest to seek out answers, and hopefully, unearth the truth in the process. With every little enigma that he deciphers, Joe comes to understand what it feels like to lose everything. But, who is the mastermind behind Joe's endless torment?

Alternative Plot: Although his life is already in a downward spiral, things get much worse for advertising executive Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin) ; while drunk one night, Joe is kidnapped and thrown into solitary confinement in a bizarre, hotellike room. For the next 20 years, Joe suffers unimaginable torment, but the motive and identity of his captor remain unknown. When he is inexplicably set free, Joe emerges with one goal: to find the person who stole two decades of his life.
