Astonishing South-Korean production.. Let's rock Hollywood now!

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 2005)

A lot of people are afraid of watching Asian films though they aren't that experienced with that kind of movies. So was I. But when I saw OLDBOY for the first time I was shocked and in the same moment astonished how amazing and surprising that film was to me.. OH-DAE SU was a great character to play for this actor, because he could show all his fears that he eventually has or had in the past of his real life. The plot was kind of offensive but that shackles the audience into their seats and gives them a weird feeling they never felt before. As strange as it sounds, I gave OLDBOY 9 stars, which is a lot I think. If you compare this movie with others you're not going to find a lot of movies that fit-- Oh, I would like to mention that there are rumors about a Hollywood-Remake with Nicholas Cage taking the main part.-
