Spike Lee’s 2013 remake of Korean hit Oldboy has been grabbing the attention of Netflix users this week, with the pic finding its way onto the Top 10 most-watched movies list. And it seems that many have been left a bit jarred after checking it out.
Starring Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen and Samuel L. Jackson, it follows “a man (Brolin) who’s kidnapped and imprisoned by an unseen force for reasons unclear, leaving his wife and daughter to believe he’d walked out on them. While stuck in a room for twenty years he plots his revenge, eventually getting out and being able to pursue it.”
If you’ve seen the original, or this American remake, you’ll know that there’s a pretty major twist which we won’t spoil here and it’s this which has left subscribers scarred, as you can see below:

Oldboy is now streaming on Netflix. But be warned, it’s not for the faint-hearted.
