To be honest, this movie is a masterpiece but I still can't find it in me to give it a ten because it's not perfect. It's more a 9.5 in that it is very close to perfection. For one, you have to sit through a lot to get to the meat of the plot and once you do, it will blow your socks off! It's a riveting tale of vengeance unlike any other. Hideously original and captivating and I don't say that loosely. At the end, I was screaming like a little girl telling everyone, you have to watch this. However, the ending is very typical of Park Chan Wook who for some odd reason feels a necessity to over reach. A lot of his movies should end at a certain point but he always unnecessarily drags the ending by adding scenes that have no importance. However, the movie delivered in a way that I hadn't expected. This movie is hideously raved about and every time, something is raved about like this, I go in with cynicism and even as I tried to resist this, I was sucked in and it has become one of my favorite movies. The great Choi Min Sik starres in this as an "ajeossi" who is randomly imprisoned for fifteen years. He is then freed with a burning curiosity. The need to find out why he was imprisoned for fifteen years. That truly is the plot and of course there's so much more and if I say anymore it becomes a spoiler as this requires you to take on a camera lense view in also trying to find out why. Why did his captor do this? It's what kept me till the end even though some moments dragged and I thought some moments were pointless until the ending. There is a huge twist that is guaranteed to blow your mind.
