Oldboy Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025This has been roaming around my watchlist forever, but after watching Decision to Leave, I finally decided to make this one a priority. Damn! What a chilling and tragic finale….and absolutely masterful. Truly an unforgettable ending. Lots to unpack and I’m sure that this has plenty of revelations in store upon rewatch. Highly recommend if you’ve not seen it.
- kenngineerJuly 21, 2025let me preface it by saying this is still one of the best asian film masterpieces for me. this is a beautiful twisted movie and i did not expect the plot twist. such a beautifully written story and casting Choi Min-sik is perfect for the Oh Dae-su character. I have had a roller coaster of emotions through this film and i regret putting out this film for a long time. I should have watched this decades ago. loved it.
