Man-su (Lee Byung-hun from Squid Game) thinks he has it all – a loving wife, two children, two Golden Retrievers, and a dream home. When he is abruptly laid off from a paper company after 25 years of service, he vows to find a new job in the industry within the next three months. After a long and fruitless job search, Man-su risks losing the family home. Out of desperation, he hits on a solution to find work: eliminate the competition.
Park Chan-wook, the legendary director of Decision to Leave, The Handmaiden and Oldboy, delivers another stylish and biting satire of contemporary capitalism.
“No Other Choice isn’t just Park’s funniest film, but his most humane, too – and that’s quite something for a comedy as violent as this one.” ~Nicholas Barber, BBC
“With humour blacker than black bean noodles, the film is a masterful work of cinema which might well be Chan-wook’s masterpiece. And given this is the man who directed The Handmaiden that’s saying a lot.” ~Time Out
“While the crime spree may be inept, Park’s filmmaking is as elegant as ever, in a wildly enjoyable picture that balances psychological tension against giddily hilarious comic set pieces.” ~Wendy Ide, Screen Daily
