Old Boy is a great movie!
My Korean girlfriend had told me about this movie, so I ordered it. It is a fantastic movie. Very well made, acted and filmed. The story is amazing with some unique twists. I heard they are going to remake this in America and Speilberg is directing? Why mess with an already great film? Well worth...

Wow, mother of all twists...
What can I say, as disturbing as it is, an awesome movie none the less. I love live-action Far-Eastern movies. This movie not only fits right in that gap but also lands one of the sickest twists I have ever seen in a movie to top it. Hollywood cannot even come close. You don't believe me, watch...

Don't waste your $$$
Don't waste your money seeing this grotesque movie. I'm not a prude and I enjoy watching stylized violence in an action flick, where the story calls for it. However, this movie goes way over the line with incest and a very twisted act of revenge. There's nothing redeeming about this movie. I'm...

Entertaining mystery/thriller with plenty of plot twists and turns!
I won't give away too much of this film's plot, as part of the enjoyment is the anticipation of what happens next from very early on (and I would encourage avoiding other reviews that give to much away and just watch it!) This being said, early on the film's protagonist is kidnapped and locked...

beautiful and important
this is quite possibly the most beautiful revenge film ever made. the script, which has been overlooked, hits very important topics regarding life and the decisions that you make during it. the acting is phenomenal and the violence is perfectly coreographed to be very visual but relates to the...

This Movie Is A Brilliant Violent Action/Love Story With Quite An Edge That Should Not Be Missed
Oldboy is one of my favorite films. Let me get that out of the way to show my bias. I love Oldboy. I think it's brilliant, I think the story is fantastic, I think the cinematography is phenomenal, and the acting is amazing. I can go on, but alas, I've run out of adjectives. This movie keeps you...

I wish I could give it zero stars
This film is sick. I couldn't watch it when he was eating a live aquatic animal (I think it was a baby octopus?); I thought it was cruel and barbaric. I immediately stopped watching it and felt nothing but disgust and contempt. Avoid this film by all means.I also read some of the other...
