OldBoy

So I heard all this hype about this old flick, and decided to check it out.

Best. Movie. Ever.

Never have I seen a movie that took me through laughs, tears, fears, and left my jaw dropped to the floor by the end of it all.

I wish they wouldn't do an American Remake. But w/e.

Here's a fight scene:

Can anyone suggest more movies like this?

I watched a review on it and it sounded good but never got around to watching it. Doesn't he end up sleeping with his daughter but didn't realize it was her

lol yes.

Why would you go looking for the ending without watching the whole movie?

It was amazing.

Lol no, it was amazing in a sense that by the end of the movie, I was stuck.

I didn't know what to feel for the characters--both Oh Daesu and Lee were guilty of performing a disgusting act--but I didn't know whether they deserved death or not.

I loved it as well. I didn't watch the whole thing, tough. I already knew the ending so there wasn't much of a point.

Anyways, i saw the movie awhile back and its really good. Great action movie, just love how it seems like a sidescrolling fight scene.

Ye that spoiler ruined it for me a bit.. I just watched it, at first I was like ok that's his daughter... Then something happened and I was like oh ok that can't be the daughter then. Then the ending mind ****ed me and it was over :(
Good movie tho.

Although the ending was really messed up. :(

Not exactly the same 'genre' but I suggest you watching Kill Zone( starring Donnie Yen).
Be warned, though, it's more about stunning fight scenes than story, but it still has a few awesome twists.

I still haven't got around to seeing Kill Zone. City of Violence is pretty good. As is most of the Dragon Dynasty titles.
