Been hearing about this movie for ages

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2010)

I've been hearing about Old Boy for years. I finally ordered it from Netflix.
The movie was well-made. That I expected; however, what I didn't expect was the plot. You know before you watch it that there is going to be a twist. You expect it in the normal places, but the revelations are disappointing. Then, the twist makes itself known and blows you away...
There was some humor in this movie. The acting was excellent. The direction and cinematography were well above par. The movie is very violent in spots, with some nasty dental violence. Beware if that bothers you...
