Outstanding. A Must See!

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2014)

Hello From Here - Oldboy is outstanding, absolutely gripping. Do not confuse this with the 2013 English language remake. Although I did like that version it simply can not come close to the psychotic and frenzied cinematography that this original brings. The mesmerising story line with moments of pure tenderness balance out the crazed violence and eye squinting torture scenes. Oldboy is superbly pieced together and a masterpiece of foreign language story telling. It effortlessly transcends the boarders of its mother country of origin. Even if you're not a foreign film lover and struggle with subtitled movies, this is an absolute gem and is a must see movie to go on everyone's list! Sit down, strap in and hold on tight! It's a roller coaster ride!
