I. Have. FINALLY. Seen. Oldboy.
My GOD was that a phenomenal film. It was beautiful, tragic, epic, violent, horrific... I was honestly impressed. Chan-wook Park is an amazing director (the only other piece of his that I've seen is "Cut" from Three... Extremes) and he crafted a truly tortured and tragic journey that has a nice spice of the absurd. I am now adding Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance to my Netflix queue.
The only criticism that I had of this movie was that it could have ended a little earlier than it did, though the final scene is wonderfully macabre, so I have a hard tome truly committing to this criticism.
