A stylish , gripping , twisted tale of revenge

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2005)

Oldboy is a gripping ,terrifying and super stylish head trip of a film that features one of the most shocking and smart plot twists I've ever witnessed.
Chan woo park brilliantly drip feeds the audience the ever twisting plot in a mix of stylish visuals and brutal action .
Respect is also due to min sik choi for his ballistic performance as psychotic avenger , oh dae su. Despite the amount of people he savagely beats up, You really feel sorry for him as he tries to make his way through his crazy-ass situation.
If the revenge movie is a sub genre, then oldboy is amongst the best that that sub genre has to offer.
Brilliant.Twisted but brilliant.
