    I've been watching a ton of Asian films the last year and I know there's probably at least 5 that I just can't remember the names of. I'm not sure how fond you are of reading subtitles, but if I think of the names I'll post them here.

    Fuck yes.

    I Saw the Devil is also pretty amazing and along the same lines as Old Boy. Koreans take their revenge seriously.

    I wouldn't say those are assassin films.

    Neither would I, but I wouldn't consider the 007 or Transporter franchises assassin films, either. I think he's just looking for a certain type of badass action movie--one guy (or gal) killing and/or beating the shit out of lots of people.
