Old Boy, Vol. 4
Goto, the man clandestinely imprisoned for 10 years and now out to find out why and punish whoever was responsible, starts taking his erstwhile captor's phone-delivered advice to revisit his teen years to jog his memory. No dice, not even when the young woman who's fallen for him adds her insight. His tormentor-quarry, however, decides to show himself, to get acquainted, and proposes a "game" in which the loser will die. The fourth installment of Tsuchiya and Minegishi's revenge puzzler is eerily quiet compared to its predecessors, but not a whit less fascinating. And it all looks noirishly splendid, of course.Ray OlsonCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
