This movie is interesting because it goes against the usual conventions of revenge stories. With most revenge stories, the good guy who is wronged (and is therefore morally entitled to seek revenge) and the bad guy are know quantities. "Old Boy" throws into doubt which of the parties is the wronged party and is entitled to seek revenge.

This is an interesting movie.

agreed, and the acting and visuals also make it unique - Jazz Inmate 11:48:29 01/01/10 (0)
The scene when Oh-day is released, sits down to dinner, orders something "alive" and proceeds to devour an octopus as its tentacles reach around his face is probably the most extraordinary image I have seen in film.
