Here is a movie that has a great hook: a man is kidnapped and locked in a room for 15 years and he doesn't know why... then released... and he doesn't know why. The rest of the movie follows the man's efforts to solve the mystery of his imprisonment and to get revenge on those responsible. This movie is full of style, bravura set-pieces, over-the-top violence, and finally a twist ending that is both satisfying and devestating. Let me underline... the ending is shocking and not for the squeamish, but for those with a love for Tarantino and/or movies like Se7en... this is one worth checking out. This is part of a vengeance trilogy... the other two being Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance. Both of the other movies are inferior to Oldboy in my opinion, but worth checking out.
