Shout by Pamela Pavlova

Oldboy 2003

The film's strength lies in its ability to immerse viewers in a web of suspense and intrigue, masterfully building tension with every twist and turn. The stunning cinematography is paired with great transitions.

The portrayal of 15 years in isolation is a standout aspect, both in its depiction as it unfolds and in its lingering aftermath.

The one-shot fight scene is notably impressive for the time when the movie was released. However, the poor editing of the knife in the protagonist's back detracts a bit from its impact for me.

The last part of the film takes a disturbing turn, leaving a sense of discomfort and an ambiguous resolution that lingers unsettlingly.
