    Good movie, but did anyone else find the relationship age gap a little problematic?

Universal acclaim based on 644 Reviews

Oldboy is mostly absorbing because of the intense anguish radiating off the screen at all times; Park’s ability to effectively communicate obsession, and put the audience in the head of someone who has almost entirely lost touch with his sense of self, feels unparalleled to this day.

David Sims

Oldboy has the fatal air of wanting so desperately to be a cult movie that it forgets to present itself as a coherent one.

Anthony Lane
The New Yorker

A wild, intensely cinematic ride into two men's burning desire to get even.
