Incredible

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2006)

A man is kidnapped and locked away, without any idea why or for how long. 15 years later he is released, and vows to find his captors have his revenge. Sounds like a pretty basic plot, right? You couldn't be more wrong.
I was really surprised by Oldboy. I'd read plenty of reviews calling it a masterpiece, an instant classic, the "best movie ever", etc., but I never imagined that I really would be this good. The actors are great, especially Min-sik Choi as the main character.
There really isn't much else to say about the film. One of the best movies I've seen in a very long time.
9.5/10
