Holy shite, what a film. That's a Grade-A thriller with several marvelous twists. It's been quite some time since I watched something so captivating and brilliant.

Are the other two films from the Park Chan-wook Vengeance Trilogy just as good?

They're worth watching but underwhelming compared to Oldboy.

It's maybe the best made film that I have ever seen. Just a work of art.

Netflix has several good Korean flicks right now: The Man from Nowhere, I saw the Devil, and the Host. They are not as good, but I thought they were enjoyable. I Saw the Devil was my favorite of those. fricked up tale of vengeance. The Man from Nowhere is more of a straight action flick though still fairly fricked up. The Host is just a goofy monster flick that shouldn't be taken very seriously.

Lady Vengeance I think is close, but Oldboy is by far his best work. I'm kinda a sucker for revenge books/films though, so your mileage may vary.

All three are definitely work watching though either way.
