About 12 best parts of 12 trilogies
Agreed, HK. Oldboy was a lot of twisted fun and certainly had a "wow" factor to its slick execution (in terms of the narrative, visuals and score). However, Sympathy just hit me harder and was so much more morbid, brutal and just plain real (unlike the almost comic-book feel that permeated throughout Oldboy). And to me, that makes for a better film...or at least a more impressive, emotional experience.
