Oldboy 2003

My personal review for Oldboy the movie!

Review by hell, from houston, on 31-Jul-2009

If you where kidnap and locked away for 15 years... what would you do? What can you do? Would you go crazy? Are you going to sit around and wonder Who did this to you and why?
You don't have to put yourself in his situation! Better yet you can watch it unfold right in front of you!

Before I tell you about OldBoy let me give you a warning!
This movie has a bit of violence! I don't want to say a lot but some of the movie scene's do have stuff that you wish you did not see! Want me to tell you what kind of stuff? Just a little? No! You will have to find out for your self!

About Oldboy:

In general the movie is about a man who is kidnap for 15 years!
Before you say "Oh! So that's it?" Heck no! That is only the beginning! First you have to see and hear what goes on inside the head of the hostage! Wouldn't you want revenge? Don't you want to see what hell he has to unleash when he is release?! Use your Imagination, Blood, Drama and Action!

Why did I watch this movie and why you should watch it?
I like Asian movies period! But I don't just watch ANY Asian movie! The movies that catch my attention are usually either:
1. High in Violence or Action
2. Has a lot of comedy
3. Base on a true story or true events

I don't watch a lot of movies; but have you ever seen a man take on 20 other man with a single hammer and win? Oh did a mention he does all of that with a knife inserted in his back? If you have never seen what I just describe then you should definitely see it! I know that you are not going to be disappointed!

Oh and I will admit! I bought the Oldboy graphic novel the first time I saw it in the store! It has a totally different beginning! You should read it too!

Ps. I heard that Spielberg and Will Smith want to remake this movie. Its difficult to picture this but Smith says that they are basing it off the first Graphic Novel for Oldboy. You can read more about this here.
