About Oldboy

After being mysteriously kidnapped and imprisoned with no human contact for 15 years, Oh Dae-Su (Choi Min-sik) is suddenly released without any explanation. In a twisted game of cat and mouse, he has only five days to retrace his past, track down his captors, and get his revenge. [119 min; action, drama, mystery; Korean with English subtitles]

"It's a movie that you feel you're not so much watching on screen as having beamed directly into your skull from some malign, alien planet of horror." β€” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"Given its highly stylish presentation, the unfolding mystery, several notable sequences, and a tremendous all-in lead performance from Choi Min-sik, it’s easy to see why the film has stood the test of time." β€” Aaron Neuwirth, We Live Entertainment

"Both brutal and lyrical, writer-director Park Chan-wook's existential nail-biter has torture scenes that will have you avoiding dentists, sushi bars and badly appointed hotel rooms." β€” Jami Bernard, New York Daily News
