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.
Great movie, very well worth the time to watch.
Greatest Korean movie ever !!
Choi min-sik is truly an international star, watch his “ I saw the devil” another Korean gem.!!
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
Cold Boy
A very beautiful movie, Cold boys.
What a best movie i ever wacthed
Very recommed
boo b
supermega said to watch this and im so glad I did!!!
Japanese and Korean Cinema is something beyond Hollywood. It requires specific taste to understand and enjoy. Love it.
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.
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
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.
“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.
Great movie, if you like this you might also like this Thai movie, 13 Beloved Game of Death.
This film leaves me in so many places. It’s so brilliant.
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”
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
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
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.
What the- SO DID HE FORGET AT THE END?? Or was the hypnosis unsuccessful?
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
By far the best Korean movie for me, and one of my tops, totally a must.
made me camed multiple time
…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!
FUCK THIS SHITTY SITE I HAVE GOD LAPTOP BUT THESE MOVIES KEEP FUCKING BUFFING FIX YOUR FUCKING SHIT DUMB BITCH!
Great flim that keeps into it. With min sik acting easily one of the best k movies there is.
Still as amazing as I remembered it.
Sifu \o/
Nearly twenty years old and technically never been bettered.
An absolute BEAUTIFUL film both visually and aurally. Stunningly good
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
One of the best movies ever!!
It’s an excellent movie but i still hate it with all my heart, made me traumatized
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
