Mpaa Rating : R Genre Movie :Mystery & Suspense,DramaSouth Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook directed this violent and offbeat story of punishment and vengeance. Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) is a husband and father whose reputation for womanizing is well known. One day, for reasons he doesn't understand, Oh Dae-su finds himself locked up in a prison cell, with no idea of what his crime was or whom his jailers may be. With a small television as his only link to the outside world and a daily ration of fried dumplings as his only sustenance, Oh Dae-su struggles to keep his mind and body intact, but when he learns through a news report that his wife has been killed, he begins a long and difficult project of digging an escape tunnel with a pair of chopsticks. Before he can finish -- and after 15 years behind bars -- Oh Dae-su is released, with as little explanation as when he was locked up, and he's soon given a wad of money and a cellular phone by a bum on the street. Emotionally stunted but physically strong after 15 years in jail, Oh Dae-su struggles to unravel the secret of who is responsible for locking him up, what happened to his wife and daughter, and how to best get revenge against his captors. Oldeuboi was screened in competition at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and won the coveted Grand Prix. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Best Review For Movie Oldboy
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.Jami Bernard-New York Daily News
Shakespearean in its violence, Oldboy also calls up nightmare images of spiritual and physical isolation that are worthy of Samuel Beckett or Dostoyevsky.
Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal
There's a lot less here than meets the eye.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
Quite an achievement then, and well worthy of its Cannes prize.
Trevor Johnston-Time Out
It's mesmerizing and discomfiting, engaging the viewer on a visceral and an intellectual level.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel
A visually beguiling trip that keeps pulling you along and keeps you wondering what fresh hell could possibly come next.
Bob Townsend-Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Vengeance here's a clever, evolving beast. Dae-su's guardian-like enemy stokes his bloodlust, embittering the free man's returning love of life. The climax is a scarlet swelling into Greek tragedy as truth, reprisal and justice smear.
Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
Banzai-violence kin to "Cast Away" about a man at time's cruel whim, "Oldboy"is an endurance test worth taking. Its conclusion is the most sadistic and destructively wrathful since "Seven," and the point of no return has rarely shocked this much.
Nick Rogers-Suite101.com
Intense and dark but also humorous and moving, this is an ambitious film that fulfils its promise, despite an arguably overly protracted denouement. Excellent.
Daniel Etherington-Film4
One of the best imports I've seen in a while...
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
Vengeance, says director Chan-wook Park, is the most dramatic subject in the world. The problem with that view driving his filmmaking is that it seems to override his creative judgement, presenting us with cruelty as the vehicle for his cinematic jollies.
Urban Cinefile Critics-Urban Cinefile
Director Chan-wook Park keeps the suspense going for as long as possible.
Joe Lozito-Big Picture Big Sound
Part character study, part action flick, the film seamlessly blends genres in an extremely satisfying way. The photography is spectacular - of particular note is a Escher-like staircase sequence that is simply extraordinary.
Jason Gorber-Film Scouts
As played by Choi Min-shik, Dae-su attains tragic stature. He's like a shaggy King Lear undone by his own foolishness.
Beth Accomando-KPBS.org
Definitivamente no para todos los gustos, esta violenta y asombrosa película coreana promete convertirse en una de las verdaderas sorpresas del año.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total
Park has a strong visual style and a near-surrealistic noir touch, but unraveling the mystery scarcely repays sitting through his relentless rounds of gut-wrenching violence.
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review
Not to everyone's tastes, but if you have a strong stomach, OldBoy is sure to impress.
-Empire Magazine
Oldboy is a delirious, confronting ride, a movie full of visceral shocks and aesthetic pleasures: it has an explosive immediacy and a persistent afterlife, a lingering impact that is hard to shake.
Philippa Hawker-Sydney Morning Herald
Be amazed at my cruel virility. Feel the pain. Oh yeah.
Nathaniel Rogers-Film Experience
Its tentacles are still wriggling in my memory, as if I just ate something that should never have been served in the first place.
Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer
That Park has talent in the technical department is a given; that he's a good filmmaker is debatable.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's hard to make an argument for Oldboy based on anything other than pure cinematics, but when the style speaks this loudly, it's an argument worth making.
Scott Tobias-AV Club
