Plot

An average man is kidnapped and imprisoned in a hotel room for 15 years without explanation. He then is released, equipped with money, a cellphone and expensive clothes. As he strives to explain his imprisonment and get his revenge, he soon finds out that not only his kidnapper has still plans for him, but that those plans will serve as the even worse finale to 15 years of imprisonment.

Comments

Maybe it's hard to see what a good movie is, 20 August 2005 Author: camicapo from Argentina Oldboy it's an excellent movie. You may like Italian movies, french, American or Iraqi's, but this is a great movie. Perhaps, and this is happening again and again, people feel bad saying this movie is really good cause it's all the way crazy and violent. Perhaps it's just that it don't have (maybe some people think that smooth talking means "philosophy") oriental deep thinking. Simple but great story, captivating and extremely fun. Also great photography and "masterpiece's" actors. One of that movies that will be in history, if that people that think good cinema has to have deep meaning is not involved in critics.
