The film has a big twist ending which is largely the same as its predecessor, the big one being that the young woman he befriends and takes to bed is actually his adult daughter, alongside many other unpleasant revelations. Along the way a young woman (Elizabeth Olsen in this version) comes to his aid and they begin to form a bond, which helps him in finding out who imprisoned him for so long and why. While stuck in a room for twenty years he plots his revenge, eventually getting out and being able to pursue it. In short, a man (Brolin) is kidnapped and imprisoned by an unseen force for reasons unclear, leaving his wife and daughter to believe he'd walked out on them. Despite being poorly received at time, the film keeps much of the same plot from the original movie and the manga it was based on. Many people seemingly had this very thought process as Spike Lee's 2013 remake of the South Korean revenge thriller of the same name has been cruising along the bottom half of Netflix's Top 10 movies for a few days now.
