Plot – Spoilers:
Oh Dae-su is what most people other than his few close friends would describe as obnoxious and annoying. After a drunken brawl that continues into the police station, Oh Dae-su is bailed out by a friend. He stops by at a phone booth to talk to his little daughter but is abducted by unknown people and dumped in a room. For 15 years. When he finally makes it out, he is seething with revenge and questions on why he was imprisoned.
There is not much else to say other than that Oldboy is one of the greatest films a human can ever see.
the movie is so intense from start to finish.
Holy shit.
Anyway, you can really tell that Tatsuki Fujimoto took a great deal of inspiration from this movie when writing chainsawman, and maybe even fire punch
Loved it!! Such a good ‘Effed Up’ movie. The color scheme in this is absolutely beautiful. Great introduction if you wanna get into ‘effed up’ movies.
in my country, this just came out in the movies again as a rerelease. can’t wait to see it on the big screen!
i see handsome asian guy on the cover, i click
What an amazing watch, a really artistic and brutal film . One of the good ones , you leave this film as I would say in French . Éblouie
It’s an excellent movie but i still hate it with all my heart, made me traumatized
One of the best movies ever!!
this movie was even better than i expected, any time i felt like i knew what was going to happen i was usually wrong but i’m also a fucking idiot, either way really good with a lot of fucked up twists that i would like to permanently forget, much like daesu did
Nearly twenty years old and technically never been bettered.
An absolute BEAUTIFUL film both visually and aurally. Stunningly good
Sifu \o/
I just watched this after playing, lol
Still as amazing as I remembered it.
Great flim that keeps into it. With min sik acting easily one of the best k movies there is.
FUCK THIS SHITTY SITE I HAVE GOD LAPTOP BUT THESE MOVIES KEEP FUCKING BUFFING FIX YOUR FUCKING SHIT DUMB BITCH!
Listen numb nuts and listen carefully. Before you make a comment don’t run down the hallway wearing a loose hockey helmet, you fucking retard. Get off this site for good, shit for brains. No one will miss you.
FUCK THIS SHIT SITE AND FUCK YOURSELF FOR SUCKING ITS DICK YOU MINDLESS FAGGOT
I see you’ve had some college.
I SEE YOUVE HAD DICK FAGGOT BITCH
You keep banging on about sucking dick, something you want to tell us Billy boy?
Why do you keep arguing with yourself, literally nobody cares
Except for you – that’s why you commented.
Hi steve, you pedo cunt
Fuck off
Judge me all you like. Go off on another Bonnie and Clyde friendship with yourself again if you want. But remember, I won’t be there to pick up the pieces this time. You’ll be strutting around the place like you own it. Eating takeaway burgers with albino mayonaise thinking you’re the shit. It’ll become empty and hollow just like every other time. When you crawl back with your tail between your legs I won’t listen. Then the harsh reality’ll hit you clean like a cold slap in the face- That I ain’t got no time for you, you bald wanker.
Gosh darn it! If you imposters think I’m going to sit around like some Miss Dimini Two-Shoes while you steal my identity you have another thing coming. I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck, you know. Just because I called people spics, japs and used other racist slurs doesn’t mean you have to steal my nickname. What? Do you hold a grudge?
Right! That’s it, I’ve had enough! Everybody has a limit and I’ve reached mine. There’s probably 3 different imposters commenting on this movie alone (which none of you have even watched in all likelyhood). Stop copying me! NOW! or I’m calling the police!
Right cause I’m sure the police would give a fuck about some shithead copying other shitheads on a site that doesn’t even log your IP.
it’s a free website bro, don’t shit on it. go torrent some movies if you’re too broke or lazy to find them yourself.
its free speech bro stfu
Shut up bitch
…And the moral of the story is? Stay out of other people’s family business (Wretched though it may be) don’t involve yourself in the rumour mikk and keep your fucking mouth shut! The tongue is the most dangerous part of the human body and the damage it can cause is staggering!
made me camed multiple time
wutdafuq
By far the best Korean movie for me, and one of my tops, totally a must.
After watching this movie as a human I completely disagree with the following statement: … Oldboy is one of the greatest films a human can ever see – very unbelievable statement coming from this site mod
My question is 2003 or 2013 oldboy I enjoyed both i never seen the 2003 one before today!..
After watching this movie as a reanimated mummified duck from Ramses the 50th’s dynasty, I completely agree that Oldboy is one of the greatest films anyone can ever see. Also, you dare call yourself Gestapo and human at the same time. Nice.
What the- SO DID HE FORGET AT THE END?? Or was the hypnosis unsuccessful?
Also for real tho quarantine got me watching all sorts of shits, I’m concerned with myself
Nope. it didn’t work
It’s an open ending.
But whatever ending you choose,
Nothing changes.
That’s Park Chan-wook’s story and that’s why he’s a master.
The ending is what made this movie worth watching. Actors and actresses did AMAZING. It shows two sides of a story and tugs at the heart strings. I’d give it an 7.5/10.
Some parts of the movie were slow and a tad bit confusing; however, I don’t discourage anyone who wants to watch this film. I would definitely recommend it.
I am lost for words i cant recommend this movie to anyone but its so well written and filmed that I cant not recommend it. The twis all i can say is i didnt expect it till the backstory was truly established and I was shook
wasnt too crazy about this one for most of the movie but the ending def made it all worth it in the end. Very clever
eh from the swedish corona virus perspective this movie offers a interesting perspective on the Swedish coronavirus situation. The the isolation is to feel and and to touch from. I as a Swedish inhabitant can really relate to how the main character is feeling. This movie portrays a post-mordernistic view on the coronavirus 19 situation in Sweden. The main character can be portrayed as the conservative party’s ahm, and the opposing political view is the anti villain. This movie proves how the underdogs of society are actually the architect of the capitalists societal view. “The post modernists are obsessed with language”
I GUESS you can connect themes to “the Swedish coronavirus situation,” but that’s bit of a stretch. O_o…actually- no. Let me rephrase that….That is a MASSIVE stretch.
its so depressing tht you wrote this
This movie is about some guy seeking revenge after being kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years. How tf did you come to this political crud?
Xinnese corona virus*
This film leaves me in so many places. It’s so brilliant.
Great movie, if you like this you might also like this Thai movie, 13 Beloved Game of Death.
“A tongue can accuse and carry bad news…the seeds of destruction will sow…but unless you’ve made no mistakes in your life…BE CAREFUL OF THE STONES YOU THROW!”. -Hank Williams Sr. Watch this most excellent film (and quite possibly most original film even by the exacting standards of Asian cinema) and you will have an even greater appreciation for the equally great lyrics quoted above! Mind your own mother fucking business and keep your yap shut!
One of the best movies ever made period.
excellent photography, and acting, but too artsy for me. lame fight scenes. couldn’t even finish the movie. I Saw the Devil also staring Choi way better, Luved that one… check it out on this most excellent site. Also Ichi the Killer, one of my new all time favorites.
OLD BOY MORE LIKE BELONGS IN THE TRASH
i gotta get shitfaced now man
I should of known better than to watch a move on effedupmovies.com
Oj’s comment wasn’t negative at all, why woud you need to replie such a negative response Juu? Breathe a little bit before you post such comment, maybe you are just a simple troll or maybe you are just a sad person, either way, I don’t envy you, relax, take a deep breath and start to feel what’s around you, spread love and not hate, in those dark times the only thing we should do is to better ourselves, understand and accept each other, if we don’t do that, we are doomed and probably deserve to be.
The only way to change this horrendous world start by the way we act around each other.
Oh geeze….. Kum-ba-muther-fuckin-yah.
The VW micro-bus went thata way.
you could’ve just replied to his comment, mayne
Japanese and Korean Cinema is something beyond Hollywood. It requires specific taste to understand and enjoy. Love it.
Yeah you’re so much better than everyone aren’t you
No… it’s just that you’re such a moron and very much beneath him and many others here on this site.
waltuh
honestly based lmfao why did you need to attack him like that
In somehow they’re(where they got they own unique rhythm and style, particularly plot wise and ow they act in – no tall- many ways. Yeah, indeed), and other ways they simply aren’t, not even close. Good that that has been settled down and clarified out as well:-)
Edit: “..someway*..” “..and also in term of their acting style – not all – in many ways*..”
supermega said to watch this and im so glad I did!!!
boo b
What a best movie i ever wacthed
Very recommed

Cold Boy
This is by far the most messed up twist i’ve ever seen, this is a movie none one can erase from their minds just as dae-su at the end
Greatest Korean movie ever !!
Choi min-sik is truly an international star, watch his “ I saw the devil” another Korean gem.!!
I thought that was him lolll
he also stars in “lady vengeance”
He is also in Lucy. Hollywood babyyy.
Great movie, very well worth the time to watch.
