OLD BOY (2003) - July 16, 2004 (S)
A bizarre movie about a man who is kidnapped and held against his will for fifteen years. When released, he sets out to find out who kidnapped him and why, and to get his revenge. Slow in parts, and a little strange (but never in a full-out David Lynch sort of way -- it always makes sense). The twist at the end was probably one of the coolest twists I've seen in a while. I certainly didn't see it coming. In fact, even if the movie had sucked, I think that twist would have made it worthwhile. Fortunately it didn't suck. ***
