Korean movies really are the best

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2018)

Oldboy shook me from the start to finish, I couldn't keep my eyes away from the screen. It thrilled me with a compelling story that I didn't think much of in the start, however: As some movies with a fantastic plot twist leave you dumbfounded until the very end, this movie unfolded itself throughout the film only to shake you with the final twist. A truly well written story that will have you guessing over and over again
Oldboy isn't just about the excellent story, it's cinematography doing fight scenes and it's gloomy mood set throughout the film makes this one of the best produced movies I've watched. It's whole aesthetic is well crafted. Watching this movie is fantastic, observing the details is even better.
I have to bring up the soundtrack, the iconic action music that leads into emotion driven classical gives the movie even more charisma than it already had. The soundtrack never felt out of place and it flowed perfectly.
I've had to rewatch two times and I'm as much in love with it as I was the first time I watched it. If you haven't watched it yet then you're missing out.
