With no clue how he came to be imprisoned, drugged and tortured for 15 years — and no one to hold accountable for his suffering — a desperate businessman seeks revenge on his captors, relying on assistance from a friendly waitress. Korean director Chan Wook Park – a former philosophy student and Hitchcock devotee — uses his influences to create a mesmerizing psychological drama with a resolution that will leave you speechless.

I saw Oldboy  when it was released for a limited time in the US theaters and I dug it, it was pretty weird but it had some amazing fighting scenes. Even though I liked the movie I don’t think it should be remade.

Often when movies like this get Americanized remakes it loses something and I can’t think of many remakes that were better than the original (except maybe The Ring).  

If you have never seen Oldboy it originally came out in 2003 and you can find it on DVD pretty easily. (I just checked and Netflix has it on DVD and Blu-ray
