    I'v been watching an arseload of foreign films on my netflix since they hooked up us PS3 owners. "Old Boy" was in my queue and I was watching a trailer on YouTube today and some douche let it loose about him having sex with his daughter. Is it still worth watching, or now that i know am I just waiting for some kind of tragic Oedipus type ending? I don't want my foreknowledge to color the film in an unintended light.

    The movie still has some great scenes but knowing the end will nullify the final blow, so id say watch it but curse that tools name while doing so

    Yeah watch it. The hammer scene is worth the watch alone. It's just a really good movie.
