This one is on my top 10 list

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2005)

I cant remember last time a saw a thriller movie as good as this one. Excellent acting and directing make this average plot into a nail biting experience. Though the story is not bad, it can be a bit confusing at times. I have seen oldboy now at least 5 times and it gets better every time I see it, the main reason for this being Min-Sik Choi who plays the role of Oh-Daesu with such intensity, specially in the climax scene, that you completely forget the real world and for 120 some minutes get trapped in HIS world made up of vengeance and insanity. Superb action!!
I have read the other reviews on this site about this movie, and talked to a lot of other people who have seen it, and i think this is the kind of movie that you will either love or hate, or love to hate, or hate to love, depending on your taste in movies. The first Korean movie I have seen, but definitely not my last.
