classic excellent good fair tragicreview representoldboy be not for everyone . it pervasive violence and it live octopus eating and it unimaginary story . the film focus around a man who be kidnap and be imprison for 15 year and oh dae su be release and only to find that he must find his captor in 5 day . now the story though may seem grip to start with but once watch this bloat and un original blood fest it develop into a mash of bitter blood and a forceful film . it direct be on par of average and by no mean the standard of what a south korean thriller should be . oldboys acting scene be parallel with dull humour and a poorly writtern script . oldboy be occasionlly present with thin straw performance that one could only feel shameful about . verdict representnot for everyone but it scope and vision isn not clear enough to see far than the grey abyss of fog . tragic .
