We thought Oldboy was a South Korean action film… and then the plot twist happened. We break down why this movie has the most evil villain either of us has ever seen in our entire lives and how he dedicated his entire existence to the darkest revenge possible over something any teenager could have done. We get into the hallway fight scene, one of the most iconic in cinema history, filmed in a single unbroken shot that took three full days and seventeen attempts to get right.
