Review of Oldboy (2003) by Pimn — 07 Mar 2018
A really enjoyable film. Great cinematography in this story set in South Korea in modern times (The majority of the film plays in the times the film was released). The story is gripping and this film is one of those rare pieces that is genuinely able to make me despise the antagonist.
The plot relies heavily on subjects such as love and revenge, but in a manner I've not yet seen before. It has some major twists that were shocking. The action / fighting sequences were the only things that were somewhat poorly done, with actors clearly missing each other while still pretending to be hit, but in the end that doesn't make the overall experience any less emotional.
