A movie excellence!

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2006)

Well, where should I begin. This is the second movie that has managed to catch my attention in obsessive fashion. This is a movie that not only occupies you for a good two hours, but that also leaves you admiring its excellence.
Oldboy had me glued to the television for the good two hours it endured. My mind was processing full-time to keep up with all the twists, but hey, that's what I like. I can't get over the fact on how well the choreography was for the corridor fight scene. It's hard to believe it was all made in one single shot.
You can't watch this movie without it leaving you thinking about how well Min-sik Choi's acting was. HE is the masterpiece, not the movie. Maybe that's a bit of an overstatement, but that's almost how I feel. Maybe I shouldn't give him all the credit though, because all the characters were played by top-notch actors.
