I'll end up watching all 3.
But I fancied watching Oldboy first, mainly because it's SUPPOSED to be the best out of the series. Whether that rings true remains to be seen.
I still need to watch Once Upon A Time In America, criminal that I haven't already seen it.
How highly do you rate that good sir? (I will need a second opinion either way.
)

Yeah, I got that impression it was just theme related rather than character related.
