Now this is REAL cinema!

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2005)

old boy is a fantastic exploration of the violence of how a man can be if you do the wrong things to him (say put him in a prison for 15 long years with no particular reason). The story starts with our main man Oh Dae-Su who is kidnapped and locked in a tiny room for 15 years with absolutely no contact with any of the outside world. After learning that his wife was murdered and that he is framed for it he is soon released, holding a mobile phone and a wallet full of cash with a young girl to help him on his trail for revenge to the men who took what is left of his life away from him. I don't want to go into the story too much because it is just totally incredible and almost too hard to explain.Just watch and enjoy this highly realistic,disturbing and drop dead unbelievable tale of revenge and of a man who has been wronged and in undeniable pain. Definitely one of the best foreign films ever made and a film that will stay with you forever. 10 out of 10.
