Oldboy (2003)
5/10
One heavy junk!

I don't understand what is so speacial about this movie. It delivers the cheesy message of 'eye for an eye'. Unfortunately, that's all about it and nothing else is interesting. Acting is terrible and the humour is not funny at all. You cannot insert comedy into a tragedy. That vain effort becomes irritating after some point. Scenes are too long and boring. There is nothing rational about the subject matter and the characters are not relatable.

With a little hope, I watched the 2013 remake. For me, character development and storytelling are slightly better but when it comes to rationality and plot holes, it is equally bad.

Good luck to those who are drifted by the wind! I'll pass.
