Ain’t that something: Rex Reed - shoplifting. Was his ill will toward all of Korea a lapse in memory as well?? That mofo deserves a flogging.

Sepoy - YOU is half-Korean???? Dude, you keep holding out on me.

The joke, of course, is on Reed, who has never been a good guide to great cinema.

Oldboy got 4 stars (highest rating) from Roger Ebert, probably America’s most respected film critic, and also won the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes film festival.

Reed is entitled to his own opinion, but it’s clear he has a problem with challenging films that make demands on the viewer. And his comments indicting Korea as a nation are at least ignorant, if not racist.
