Revenge or seek the truth?

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2006)

If you are imprisoned for 15 years, without being told why and for how long, what would you do when you get out? If you have to choose between revenge and finding out the reason of the imprisonment, which one would you choose? This is the choice Oh Des-su has to make at the beginning of the movie "Oldboy." What a terrific film! I gasped, screamed, closed my eyes, and laughed numerous times during the film. This is a movie experience you do not want to miss. "Oldboy" has many gruesome images and unbelievable shocking scenes. However, you don't feel any exaggeration at all, and the characters did what they have to do after the chain of events.
There are so many secrets and mysteries in the film, so see it before anybody spoils the story for you.
