Oldboy

I agree... Cage is not fitting at all. I have nothing against him, I just can't picture him playing the part.

This movie.....was flat out amazing. The fight scenes were excellent. I loved it. 👆

yeah this is a great film, it sort of left a bad taste in my mouth though. im used to having my movies end with the guy getting the girl and killing the bad guy, it was refreshing in a way.

The film kept my attention and was very entertaining in parts. I hated the bad guy and how mean spirited he was. I think his revenge was overdone. The main star reminds me of Robert DeNiro for some reason. He is a very good actor. I also saw him in a very fine film with Cecilia Cheung but it was even more depressing and dark then this film.

shouldnt this go in the movie discussion? It isnt such a foreign film, as its in english.

Oldboy is a korean film.

Actually, I saw this movie dubbed, and the dubbing was surprisingly good. I liked it better dubbed than subtitled.

Idiot.

Why do you make me rape you?

Because no one's ever loved me the way you love me.

Great movie & cold hearted revenge.

Oldboy rocks.

Amazing film. One scene that stuck with me after learning twist was when Dae-su and Mi-do are unconscious from the gas in the hotel room in which Lee Woo-jin wearing the gasmask starts touching Mi-do. Knowing

Spoiler:
how much Lee controlled both their lives just made that scene stand out. It was like a rattlesnake playing with its prey with every intention to frighten and humiliate its victim.

anyone seen this movie?
IMO it is one of the greatest movie i've ever seen. the story is great, the acting is great and the picturization and monolgues are also very good.

Synopsis: a man is kidnapped and locked in a room for 15 years. one day he is let free and told that he has 5 days to find out why he was kidnapped or someone he loves will be killed.

Tagline: 15 years of imprisonment. 5 days of vengeance.

Badass movie. and must see from Korean cinema.

Duplicate thread.

Merging.

I'm having a tough time finding this film in any electronics store.

I've tried like 6 different stores and no luck.

Any suggestions?

I'd like to avoid getting it online, but I will if I have to.

I found it at Borders once. I would recommend Netflix if you just want to rent it.

Do you have Best Buy where you live? That's usually a reliable source for me.

What about a Kim's Video & Music shop, I went into two in New York years ago and they specialise in foreign film sections. Don't know if they are outside of New York though.
