Has anyone seen Old Boy???

I just finished watching it and all I can say is "WHOA"!!! It's a Korean thriller that's gotten rave reviews from critics and viewers alike. I loved it...although it was a bit disturbing. A must watch ONLY IF you are into those kind of films. Otherwise you'd probably hate it.

Never heard of it...sounds intriguing. Is it in theaters or out on dvd? My husband loves those kinds of flicks. I'd check it out.

It's on DVD now...I've been waiting all year for it to come out on dvd...it wasn't in very many theaters in the States...Supposedly, they're trying to film an American version of it, but I don't like any of the American remakes of all the Asian movies.

The movie is basically about a man who gets kidnapped and locked in a room for 15 years. WHen he is released, he's left with a cell phone and a wallet full of cash. He's gotta figure out why he went through what he did for the last 15 years...It's a twisted revenge movie.

I will let you know if I like it.
