Review of Oldboy (2003) by Ricardo P — 10 Aug 2012
Unbelievable that I only just got round to seeing this. Utterly gripping throughout, and the only sour note is that there is a U.S. remake on the way. Expect it to follow roughly the same beats, with a cop-out ending.
Always surprising, it's violent without being gratuitous, and the ending of this movie is worth the price alone. If you like a dark, violent thriller, I cannot recommend this enough.
