Oldboy is a Masterpiece.

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2006)

I first saw the trailer of the movie, and it sure looked good. I'm a big fan of oriental Action movies. Oldboy received good reviews, so i rented it out. It has a brilliant unique storyline, with a disturbing and shocking twist and ending. The movie is about a man that gets mysteriously kidnapped and finds himself in a room locked. Not a prison, just a room, with a bed and TV and he receives food. The days turns into years, and after 15 years he is suddenly released. He is given a phone and message on not Why did this happen to him, but Why was he released. Sounds a little daft, but for those who have seen this movie, if you think about it, it makes sense. It is absolutely bizarre and not for the weak hearted. Oldboy had some magnificent violence that was recorded excellent. There is a fight scene, where he takes on 15 guys on his own in a hallway. The 2 minute fight scene was recorded in one camera take, and looks brilliant. Great performances, I still recommend this movie to anyone looking for a challenge.
