There, his invisible and pitiless captors will feed him, clothe him, and sedate him to avert a desperate suicide--and as his only companion and a window to the world is the TV in his stark cell--the only thing that helps Oh Dae-Su keep going is his daily journal. Then, unexpectedly, after fifteen long years... (Full plot summary below)

Abducted on a rainy night in 1988, the obnoxious drunk, Oh Dae-Su, much to his surprise, wakes up locked in a windowless and dilapidated hotel room, for an unknown reason. There, his invisible and pitiless captors will feed him, clothe him, and sedate him to avert a desperate suicide--and as his only companion and a window to the world is the TV in his stark cell--the only thing that helps Oh Dae-Su keep going is his daily journal. Then, unexpectedly, after fifteen long years in captivity, the perplexed prisoner is deliberately released, encouraged to track down his tormentor to finally get his retribution. However, who would hate Oh Dae-Su so much he would deny him of a quick and clean death?
Leave your thoughts about Oldboy.
| FrewFilmCameron FrewA jaw-dropping seminal masterwork, blending heart-wrenching physical and emotional brutality. |
| Portland OregonianM. E. RussellStartling and amazing -- a cinematic hammer to the skull. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonVengeance 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. |
| Film4Daniel EtheringtonIntense and dark but also humorous and moving, this is an ambitious film that fulfils its promise, despite an arguably overly protracted denouement. Excellent. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonQuite an achievement then, and well worthy of its Cannes prize. |
| eFilmCritic.comDavid CorneliusThe buzz was right: Oldboy confirms Park as one of the best filmmakers working today. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasA movie critic doesn't get to say this very often, so he should take the opportunity when he can: You have never seen anything like "Oldboy" before. |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesThere is a beautiful symmetry about the story |
| Denton Record-ChronicleBoo AllenUnsettling, terrifying film weaves a tale of revenge. |
| NewsdayJan StuartYou will either feel mollified by the hysterically moral denouement or feel offended by the filmmaker's strategy of debasement, which reduces the audience to the mongrel-like prostration of its protagonist. |
