Memorable

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2006)

I just rented this film and it really is pretty good. Good enough to register (despite having to fire up IE) specifically to disagree with the headline "User Comment" for this film. The plot jumps about and has a drunk camera man (which seems to be all the rage these days) but the overall impression is pretty good. You can watch 99% of mainstream films and turn off half way but still be able to describe the entire film in pretty good detail. OldBoy has unexpected plot twists / memorable imagery / unpleasant imagery / flawed main characters and is in all ways better than any standard blockbuster.
General summary - I liked it and it will stick in my memory for some time. Well worth watching.
