Will stick with you

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2019)

I haven't seen the remake and I don't plan to, because I think that oldboy 2003 is a perfect movie. For a film to have one of the best 3rd acts and twist endings I have ever seen is one thing, but to build up to it with a phenomenal 1st and 2nd act seems almost imaginary. Plenty have films have hooked me in only to loose me at the end (or vice versa), but oldboy is a pleasantly surprising exception. Great acting, great fighting choreography and great cinematography are only some of the many reasons that puts this film on a list of my top 10. Just like I think a show like death note is a great introduction to anime, oldboy is one of the best films to watch before getting into foreign cinema and dare I say cinema as a whole
