"After being kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must find his captor in 5 days. " ~ Old Boy (2003)
HQ Thoughts: "Classic. Puts the horror in horrible and Asians know how to do it! WOW
Oh Dae-Su was held captive after being kidnapped one day from a police station. We have no clue why and neither does he but he is kept hostage for the next 15 years, not to mention that he is fed and pretty much kept isolated with only a facade of an apartment and a television.
He learns as time winds down that he has the opportunity to find who has done this to him, because they basically ruined his entire life, including his family. The obviously pissed and bitter captors give this guy 5 days and Oh Dae-Su uses everything that he learned from TV to inflict the most pain as he tries to find his new meaning in life. Pay attention is all I can recommend because the visual is amazing.
Oh yea and Spike Lee is remaking it this year to my greatest disappointment."
