When he is suddenly released without explanation, he begins an obsessive mission to find out who imprisoned him, only to discover that the real mystery is why he was set free. (Original Title - Oldboy)

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Dreadful, awful. Rooted nowhere, unrealistic fights, characters you don't care about. Why bother with the story at all, it's all so unbearable. School boy writing. Equally bad execution. What's frustrating is that it could have been brilliant.

The Original 2003 is a masterpiece, this ' adaptation ' misses the whole damn point of what made the original, ' The best example of Asian cinema '. If you have watched this, without seeing the original, I can only pray for you.

Watch the original because it's an absolute classic. This isn't bad but they changed the ending to be less shocking, apart from that the plot is the same.
