Old Boy, an amazing twisted thriller
Old Boy is a Korean movie which was recommended to me by many of my friends at the movie stand that I get my international films from. I wasn’t really too sure what to think because all I was really told is that it is good and that it is about revenge. I thought okay well that sounds interesting at least so I picked it up and watched it, and oh boy was I in for a twisted ride that really went deeper into revenge than I could have ever thought. The movies is about a man who is locked up in a hotel for 15 years not knowing why or who is being so cruel to him. Once he gets out he doesn’t really know how to respond to the “outside” world and is still confused and distorted, but he does know one thing, he wants to get to the bottom of who locked him up and why and how to bring revenge upon them. That’s all I will say because I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone. The movie has many action scenes and some disturbing scenes, but I give the movie two big thumbs up for being different and going where no one ever went.
If you want to watch a bizzare thriller that’s like no other try out Old Boy. I warn you, this movie isn’t for all tastes, but it is a great movie if you can handle it.
