thinking Mr. Park, in the last of his vengeance trilogy, is just re-hashing "Old Boy."
In all respects, this is a very different film, much less "action" oriented and deeply introspective, analyzing revenge in a way few films ever have.
The lead gives one of those performances in which we forget we are watching an actor: she is the prisoner.
For those who have appreciated "Old Boy," you will be surprised to see some of your old friends from that film and have fun trying to figure out if they're the same or different characters in this one...
