Old Boy is an amazing movie

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2005)

The writer, cinematographer and director, as well as to a large extent, the lead actor, create a cinematic world unlike any other captured on film. In particular, there are two scenes in this movie that will go down in history as being completely original and masterful in execution. There are some minor things that you could complain about if you really wanted to, but other elements of the film are so brilliant that you probably won't even notice. To give any of the story away would be a travesty, so make sure to avoid any trailers or reviews - this is meant to be watched with no knowledge of the subject. A solid ten.
