Oldboy is a 2003 South-Korean film, directed by Park Chan-wook, and stars Choi Min-sik who plays Dae-su, a married man known as the town drunk. After being apprehended by the police, he is set free and mysteriously disappears. Dae-su wakes up in what appears to be a hotel room, but is locked in with no means of escape. He does not yet realize at that point that he’s going to be staying there for 15 years. During his time, the only thing he has for entertainment is the TV, and this is how he finds out about the murder of his wife which he is immediatley framed for. After he is finally let out after 15 years he wakes up on a rooftop, dazed and confused. Almost immediately he tries to find out who imprisoned him and why, with the help of a woman he met shortly after named Woo-jin. Oldboy is a fast-paced, masterful revenge movie. It expertfully shows the psychological effects on a man who was kept in solitude. Choi Min-sik gives an amazing performance as he captures a tortured man. The movie takes many twists and turns as Dae-su comes closer to the truth and the finale is truly riveting. With all the heart put into this film I’m going to award it with a ten out of ten.
