Review of Oldboy (2013) by Franco C — 07 Mar 2015

Quickie Review.

Great movie. Disgusting, creepy, and it'll give you nightmare's if you watch it before bed, that's for sure, BUT it was so well executed and the story told so well that I still thought it was a great movie. The only thing is that it shifted tone and style a couple of times so drastically that I felt like I had whiplash. The one fight scene, though amazing, felt more like a Tarantino movie than the brooding suspense film they had built for the rest of the film. One BIG point in this movie's favor is that THIS director knew how to make us feel like years were passing and make us feel the effect of those years, unlike many other recent releases. And Brolin? Fantastic.
