Min-Sik Choi= One hell of an actor!!


This guy I have been following since Oldboy and that whole Vengeance trilogy and now I saw "I saw The Devil". What a frekin crazy ride of a movie. Min-Sik holds nothing back in his roles and is just really really good. Even more recently he was in Lucy which I happened to enjoy and he was great in that as well. He can play many different roles in different situations and he goes through the motions of all his characters very well. In Oldboy he plays this tormented man locked up for all those years and shows you all the highs and lows of a man going through something like that as best he can. In "I saw the Devil" he plays a deranged serial killer perfectly. A pyscho who is ruthless and he plays it as well as any actor I can think of. If I had to compare him to an American Actor I'd say Christian Bale based on performances . That's saying a lot for MO. Great actor all in all and wanted to give him some props !!!

THERES NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!!

His performance in I Saw The Devil is probably one of the best acting I've ever seen in any movie.. Hard to believe he was also main star in Old Boy

reply

Oh jaa for me he is definitely on the same Level with anthony hopkins in the Silence of the
Lambs also the Movie.

You could say, he is a. . . sick (get it?, sik, sick) actor (now laugh like Austin Powers) ;)

I was stunned after I have seen his flawless performance in Oldboy, I litetally seek and watched all movies have him in it.

IMHO he is one of the best if not the best modern actor.

reply

what he did in oldboy was fantastic. what he did in I saw the devil was something I will never forget. Seriously, every future serial killer performance will be compared to his, and probably seem bland. un-freaking-believably intense this guy.

he was great in "i saw the devil". after that i want to see more from him


Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

agree






so many movies, so little time

After Oldboy, Sympathy for lady vengeance and I saw the devil, you need to watch "Failan", a love drama with him as lead.

The scene with him reading the letter is imho the best he ever acted.
Nothing beats his reaction in this scene.
