GOOD
Daryll from Limerick, 21 Jul 2008
Too start off; This is the one and only film that kept me quiet for a whole 5 mins after seeing it. I literally couldn't close my mouth, and yet there wasn't any sound coming out of it. Oldboy had such an impact on me that words are too little to describe that impact. Therefore this film is definitely in my top 3 film ever made. It belongs there because it has a massive ingredient that a lot of films seem to miss out on; a divine plot. Even though the acting and screenplay are world class
Sick
Attila from Tipperary, 23 Feb 2009
Morbid story about sexual relations between family members. Does anyone need this?
Choi Min-sik is a good actor and the cutting is a masterpiece, but the story is just a dark manga, incongruent for movie. Do incest, torture and evilness mean relaxation to someone? This Korean pridefulness begins slow and has a disgusting end. Extraction of tooth by a hammer closeup, and relatives who make love with each other and cheap explanation is the lot for those will watch this montrosity.
Must See

An amazing movie that will have you enthralled to find out a) what has happened & b) what will happen. So unique & dark it is a must see, the subtitles just adds to the atmosphere. Oh & for the record the review below entitled 'Sick' is not a review, but a complete movie spoiler, if you really want to enjoy this movie, dont read that review & have it ruined for yourself!
Old Boy Done Good

Excellent film but little disappointed by its ending where i thought the film let its self down a bit. Highly recommended, if you dont mind the subtitles, and is a great example of the high quality of films coming out of Asia recently.
Very Enjoyable

The start is very intriguing, captivating me straight away. They could have led anywhere from this. Sadly the ending was a little weak but I recommend this. Generally it was well acted. A well made film also.
