absolutely unforgettable

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2006)

I came into this film knowing absolutely nothing about it. My manager said "buy it, it's AMAZING". First of all, the plot. After a man has a terribly drunk night, he ends up imprisoned for 15 years without knowing who imprisoned him and why. When he is released, he is given a new suit, a cell phone, and ends up at a sushi restaurant, where he meets Mi-do. Along with Mi-do, to save those he cares about most, Oh-Daesu is given 5 days to figure out who imprisoned him and why. This film definitely focuses on the fact that even the smallest things can blow up out of proportion, and the results can be catastrophic. The acting is by far the best I've seen in Asian cinema, and the writing is fantastic. I highly recommend. 10 stars all the way.
