An Absolute Cult Masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2008)

Chan-wook Park is a genius, in my opinion. Following on from Sympathy For Mr Vengeance (another FANTASTIC film), Oldboy follows the story of Oh-Dae-Su, superbly played by Min-sik Choi. Locked up for 15 years without apparent reason and finally released to find out who and why and seek bloody revenge.
This film is incredibly stylised, expertly directed, wonderfully acted and has a beautiful, haunting soundtrack.
This is a one in a million film that is simply stunning in every sense.
An amazing director, awesome script, stunning acting, musical score, and fantastic cinematography, come together to give you an absolutely mind blowing, revenge seeking, cult Tartan Asia masterpiece.
