Personal Comment:

You know that when this final start to fit the pieces and you realize how sinister is the final revelation, can you just repeat: "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Louder and louder until finally you have your suspicions confirmed, only to then cover her mouth in shock? Well, "Old Boy" is that kind of movie.
