Watched the Korean revenge thriller classic again for the second time and it was great again. The film is adapted from the Japanese Manga with the same name. The film had won the Grand Prix at Cannes after getting high praise from the chairman of the jury, Quentin Tarantino. Choi Min-sik is just great as Oh Dae-su.
Oldboy is the second film in the vengeance trilogy. The three films are not connected as part of the story and therefore you can watch in any order you like. In my opinion the first one, 'Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance' is the best film of the lot but its not as entertaining as Oldboy. The third one 'Lady Vengeance' was also good but not as good as the other two.
Rating: 4.5/5
