Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

adonis98-743-186503 Abducted on a rainy night in 1988, the obnoxious drunk, Oh Dae-Su, wakes up locked in a hotel room, for an unknown reason. But then, unexpectedly, after fifteen long years in captivity, the perplexed prisoner is deliberately released, encouraged to track down his tormentor to finally get his retribution. Old Boy is a movie that i have heard so many positive things about and i was very excited to see just to see what was so special about it and needless to say there was nothing special to it rather than the main star likes to eat like a dog and tried to make love to a woman and she hit him with the toilet paper. Excellent Oscar Worthy movie right there, Oldeuboi is a waste of time and money. (0/10)
Michael Speiser Oldeuboi is currently, and has been for a while now, my favorite movie. Min-sik Choi plays his role flawlessly. This movie promises you an exciting experience right off the bat, and then entirely over-delivers and becomes something much more than you expected going into it. You name it, this movie does it incredibly well. The cinematography is nothing short of artistic. The soundtrack is perfectly fitting and very emotional. The writing and storytelling are the best I've ever seen, and call back to classic tragedies and the tragic hero. I find that American audiences generally don't like this movie much because of it's nontraditional storytelling and ending. If you're interested in something you won't ever get out of an American movie, this will deliver. And don't worry about being bored, because not a second of the runtime of this movie is wasted. There is always either action happening on screen, plot being developed, or cinematography being shown off. Most of the time all at once. Even if you don't like drama, or don't like international movies, it can be appreciated for so many different things that everyone will find something to love about it. The fight scenes in this movie are some of the best I've ever seen, and aren't even one of the main reasons why I love this movie. If you aren't very open to stories that are nontraditional or something you're not used to seeing in the West, you might take issue with this movie, to which I'd say you need to open up some more, because you're missing out on a great experience.As I said earlier, Min-sik Choi is an incredible actor, and after watching Oldeuboi I watched two of his other films, "I Saw the Devil" and "Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time", both of which are incredible films that I suggest you go watch if you liked Oldeuboi or are interested in Korean cinema but want something other than Oldeuboi. Min-sik Choi delivers an almost, but not quite as amazing performance in both of those movies. Oldeuboi itself is a great dive into Korean cinema and what it has to offer. Watch this movie if you get the chance.
anubhavchakrabortya After a long time watched a movie which made me question why is the person being tortured this way.Once you get adapted to the story you will get glued to it to know the climax.The story is next level with the action scenes. The actors have played an excellent part in carrying the story forward. Just wait for the ending and you will be blown from your feet.
