I've got this movie. It rocks! I would totally recommend it. It's got a great plot twist!

i just watched "lady vengence" which reminded me of oldboy. i've seen all of park's revenge trilogy now, & "oldboy" is by far the best.

I will check this movie out. I read the ending and all I can think is

oh my deity name here!!
I was reading about the remakes and I think the way Oldboy did their ending really seems to make the movie come together well!!

I've heard of this movie and heard about the "plot twist" being very controversial. I do want to check it out.
The stuff that's been coming out of Asia as far as films have really been elevated to a new standard far and above the standard chop-socky flicks of the 60's and 70's and even the 80's.
Even I haven't watched the film the "hallway hammer" scene was enjoyable... and will be worth seeing again. It was very realistic in that the protagonist was human, got hit, got hurt and showed it... loved the end of that scene :lol:

Yeah a hammer is a very effective weapon, no doubt about it.

Thanks for sharing... good find.
Gotta put that on my must-see list.

yeah, the ending is pretty awesome. & gross.
