This is absolutely not a film for all tastes, but it's a masterpiece of pitiless power whose audacious, ambiguous climax strikes a note of insane romanticism as haunting as it is perverse.
A movie that can leave you lost, repulsed, fascinated and ultimately chastened. -

phenomenal movie. not for the light hearted. I can't believe Spielberg's remaking with Will Smith playing the lead role. They'll probably screw it up. American remakes seldom come close to the Asian originals.

This movie is just soooo disturbing in so many levels. Just be forewarned coz' this movie is not for the faint hearted. It's one of those movies that I'm glad that I watched and experienced, but it's not something that I'd want to watch again. I heard Hollywood is gonna do their version of this movie and that's just wrong. They should just leave this alone.

The second movie in director Chan -wook Park's vengeance trilogy is so good, your left numb afterwords. The cinematography again is excellent, and the story is probably the most devastating I've ever seen. This movie is always in Top 10 lists everywhere, so believe the hype.

i'm not usually one to agree when feminists cry misogyny ... but i thought the way that women were depicted in this movie was really disturbing
obviously its not the only fkked up thing about the film, but disregarding the purposely disturbing stuff ... it still left a sick feeling in my stomach because of this
anyone else agree?posted 285 days ago -
It wasn't the trapping of the man that excecuted brilliances, it was the events following that, especially the end.
But I thought the movie was deftly prepared, and I was "wowed" at the end. It the movie is a tad slow paced, but I kept watching because I was trying to dicern the wacky scenes and parts of the film.posted 516 days ago -
Oldboy is one of the most overrated pieces of crap I've ever seen and I hate it more than life itself. Taking up a heroin habit would actually be more constructive than watching this movie. I won't dispute that it started off strong enough and had me intrigued for the first hour, but once the hammer came down it didn't even make a dent for me.
I don't know if there were some cultural differences that didn't translate well ot what, but it started off brilliantly and ended in the most pathetic of ways. And I understand and appreciate that it didn't follow a formula, but you've got to understand as a filmmaker that if you lock someone in a room for 14 years there won't be a reason on earth that's going to leave an audience paralyzed with brilliance.
And this is all just my opinion. I say this because everyone on this site seems to have a boner for this movie and I can't understand why.posted 559 days ago -
The second film in the Revenge Trilogy, Olboy pacts a punch! The key is identifying the actual protagonist... only then will you understand the meaning of vengeance in this movie. A must see!!!
