A complicated plot for a useless ending

Rating: 3/10 (16 August 2006)

Too bad most Asian directors all turn towards the same violence like movies. The idea of such a scenario was pretty good, but I expected much more from this movie. I had heard great comments about it, but please stop comparing this movie to other ones like Memento, Irréversible, or Seven. The movie's plot is actually good, but the explanation of the whole thing is really shallow. In this sense, I agree with many comments that were previously written about this "Old Boy": why wait all these years to revenge from a common high school event ? Nice try, but disappointing explanation. I would rather have only watched the 1st half of it !
