No Other Choice is the story of Man-su (Lee Byung Hun), an employee at a paper company who is so satisfied with his life that he can truthfully say to himself, “I’ve got it all.”However, after suddenly being fired, he finds himself in a battle to get re-hired in order to keep the family home he has worked so hard to buy, and to protect his wife and two children.
Based on Donald Westlake’s 1997 novel The Ax, the latest film from the singular creative vision of South Korean auteur Park Chan-wook, No Other Choice depicts how an ordinary person tries to overcome the crisis of being suddenly fired. As Man-su faces increasingly cutthroat competition to be re-hired, he comes to consider resorting to extreme measures, resulting in a film which is nail-bitingly tense, darkly funny and wildly unpredictable.
