Oldboy (2003) Oldeuboi (original title): After being kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must find his captor in 5 days. (8.4)
Director: Chan-wook Park
Stars: Min-sik Choi, Ji-tae Yu and Hye-jeong Kang
Language: Korean (w/ English subtitles)
The script/story has more twists than a pretzel. If I say more, I will spoil it for anyone wishing to see the movie later. It is beautiful, violent, repulsive, heart wrenching, etc. all at the same time. If the movie makes you think about the story, the cinematography, acting, direction, etc many hours after seeing it as well as while watching it, then it has substance (IMHO). This movie does have that. My Rating: 8.0
