Really Surprised!

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Its a very creative movie which gripps audience as it moves ahead main actor has given a powerfull performance its music create a beautiful atmosphere and a suspenseful tone everyone should watch this movie if you are not watching you are missing something great in the whole movie you should think why why why and when the answers come your mind goes away

A brilliant, brutal and bloody mystery with many twists and turns. The "hallway scene" and the whole final confrontation sequence are unforgettable as is the movie as a whole!

Vengeance - whether it be cold, calculating and entirely unnecessary or passionate, angry and ultimately fruitless - is depicted as an all-encompassing, life-ruining reflection of one's own inner emotions in this disturbing South Korean revenge thriller that pulls no punches and is vehement in its core ideology that when seeking retribution, you must first dig two graves. No-one escapes unscathed in 'Oldboy (2003)' and the so-called 'crimes' for which penance is being sought are so petty that when they're revealed you realise that the villain's motivations were actually to simply avoid placing the guilt upon himself (the only reasonable party). When the film reaches its heart-breaking, tragic finale it will leave you as devastated as the protagonist, before it all ends on one of the most deceivingly dark notes of the last few years. Yet, besides the fantastically well thought-out plot that's told with some brilliantly intelligent writing, the feature also relies on it's stand-out powerhouse performances and unflinching violence that, while certainly not as graphic as its reputation would have you believe, serves the dark and uncompromising story well. Dark, unflinching stuff that isn't for the faint of heart. 8/10

I watched Oldboy only knowing that it was reviewed as a great film, I had absolutely no clue about the plot. The first few minutes I thought this would be a great Tarantino style dark comedy, fast forward to the end and oh my god it left me speechless. The cinematography is absolutely fantastic, beautifully shot, the acting is superb but it has been years since a movie plot had left me this shocked for it's intensity and brilliance. You do need an open mind and deep understanding in order to see the magnificence of this story, one of the best revenge movies ever, if not the best.
