Holy shit. I just saw Oldboy for the first time. Sooo disturbing but amazingly acted and executed. I usually can't stand the slightest bit of blood and gore... but this movie is probably one of my favourites now. Go rent it or download it, there are versions with English subtitles out there. Quick synopsis:
After a drunken night on the town, an ordinary Seoul businessman, OH Dae-su (CHOI Min-sik) wakes up in the morning to discover he has been locked up, without explanation, in a mysterious prison, his home for the next 15 years. When, suddenly and inexplicably, Dae-su finds himself freed, a voice on a cell phone taunts him into discovering who kept him imprisoned. Dae-su plunges into a world of competing vengeance, his own drive for revenge matched by the equally implacable and considerably more Byzantine scheming of his mysterious nemesis.
Fucking rad.
