One principle to review films by: what was the experience of watching that film? There are a lot of showy 'tricks' which some people object to on a cerebral level in oldboy, but I am considdering this film purely on it's impact. It made me feel gut-renched, spine-tingled, dumb-struck, and by the end, perhaps a tad too strained by the emotional trauma piled-on. Little else has engaged me quite so vicerally for quite a while. So don't knock a movie for it's methods, just ask 'what's the cumulative effect'? Oldboy is definitely worth the experience.
