When family man and paper specialist Yoo Man-soo (Lee Byung-hun) loses his job after 25 years of service, he’s at risk of losing the life he has worked so hard for. To secure his next role, he plans to eliminate his competitors by any means necessary.

Addressing family dysfunction, gender roles and the state of the nation itself, director Park Chan-wook (Decision to Leave, Oldboy) delivers a thrillingly wicked film with his signature dark humour, twists and rich visual style.

No Other Choice is based on Donald E Westlake’s satirical horror-thriller The Ax from 1997, previously filmed in 2005 by Costa-Gavras, to whom this film is dedicated.
