A boost for Oldboy. I like the idea of letting the pool steer me away from the same familiar choices.

Darragh, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

Oldboy is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Ciaran, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering Oldboy: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
