15 years forced in a cell, only 5 days given to seek revenge.

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2006)

''Oldboy'' is a great Korean movie full of mysteries and action. You enter in the character's skin and wants to discover with him the reason why he was locked so many years. This is the plot:
Oh-Dae-Su is the kind of guy who is always making problems. He is married but has many lovers and also drinks in the biggest part of the time. One day that he is completely waisted, he is arrested by the cops, and only is released from the police because his best friend, No Joo-Hwan, helps him. It is Dae-Su's daughter's birthday, and while No Joo-Hwan is wishing her happy birthday at the phone, Oh-Dae-Su suddenly disappears. He is kidnapped and locked in a room for exactly 15 years, and in this meantime his wife is killed(and the police blames him for that)and his daughter is adopted by a foreigner couple. One day, he is suddenly released (as he was suddenly locked) and receives clothes, money and a cellular apparently from the same guy who kidnapped him.
Paranoic, he needs to find out the reasons why he was kidnapped and also wants to fulfill his lust for revenge.
Ps: People should be more open minded to watch this movie. Maybe that's why people who love OLDBOY like me, are being bashed here in IMDb.
