If you love Korean movies for their delicacy and art, you'll probably not like Bakjwi - the photography is horrible and the camera isn't exactly amazing. If you like them for their intricate stories, forget everything about Old Boy - there isn't much of a story in this one. I could not manage to feel any empathy for any of the characters, who are just plain and childish. As far as action is concerned, it is more like B class gore. I wondered if they really meant this film in a serious way. All in all, it's boring. The sex scenes are boring. The dialogues are boring. The violence is boring. Maybe it's about vengeance again, maybe not - the plot is so childish that it doesn't matter much anyway. Why am giving 7 stars in 10 ten? because there is one scene that I liked a lot . when they are having dinner and the mother-in-law moves her fingers. That is the only scene worth of Park Chan-wook's name in the whole movie, otherwise killed by some extreme inability to express anything at all.
