Oldboy (2003)

I had no idea what I was getting into when I decided to watch this film, just that it was highly recommended on many sites of the years. After watching it, I still am somewhat beyond words as to what to say about it. On the day of his daughter’s fourth birthday, Choi Min-sik is kidnapped and held by unknown captors for 15 years. Upon his sudden release, he’s determined to solve the mystery of his kidnapping. The film is a brutal and spell-binding tale of revenge and builds on my appreciation for Korean cinema.
