Old Boy: A Korean Film
Old boy is a movie that will, in a very short time, turn your entire way of thinking about Korea upside down.
It's classy, oh so very classy. However, under all that class is a seedy little action film that is so far outside of what you could expect. It's almost a horror movie, but never really goes that far. It is a film with depth that you would not expect in an action/drama.
Imagine if you will being held prisoner for no reason for the better part of your adult life. What will you do when finally freed. How free are you? How free have you ever been? Are you ready be judged for you past, even a past you can't remember?
The acting is fabulous, the story full of twists, and the ending will leave you feeling perhaps a bit of happiness, and an excessive amount of dirtiness. I highly recommend it. Added: Thursday, November 11, 2004 Reviewer: Domkitten Score: Hits: 2257
