Old Boy

Lately, I found myself searching the net for some kick-ass Korean wire-fu movies (wala pa kasi bago si axxo) and eventually found a couple, Shadowless Sword and The Restless. After reading tons of Korean film forums, Old Boy was always mentioned. They said its good so I watched it. Man, they were right... errr.. no, they're wrong... it's awesome!

It's actually the second one in Park Chan-wook's "vengeance trilogy". The first one is Symphathy for Mr. Vengeance but it doesn't come close to Old Boy and the last one is Symphathy for Lady Vengeance which I have yet to see because I still can't find it's freaking subtitle file. Anyways, the best parts for me was the corridor fight (weapon of choice = hammer) and the one where he ate a live octopus. Haha. If you want to know what can be worse than death then you gotta see this.



Nice noh?
