Movie Review by Ezra
February 13th, 2007

I've been raving about this one since I first saw it in late 2004; in fact, I originally included it in my Top Ten of that year, but I was so happy to see it get a US theatrical release this year that I decided to rave all over again. The less said about the intricate story, the better, but here's something to whet your appetite: Oh Daesu, the main character, is abducted and held in a room with fake windows for 15 years. His only connection with the outside world is through television. One day, he is hypnotized and then released onto a rooftop. He must spend the rest of the film finding out who did this to him and why. The results will blow your mind.

This is my favorite Chan-wook Park flick....the whole vengeance trilogy rocked.
