     Of the recent wave of pitch-black Korean thrillers, few cut as cleanly—or as cruelly—as NO OTHER CHOICE. Directed by Park Chan-wook, the film follows a middle-aged company man abruptly laid off after decades of loyalty. As months of unemployment erode his pride and stability, desperation metastasizes into something monstrous: he begins eliminating his job competition to secure a position and reclaim his status.

     With the icy precision that marked Oldboy and The Handmaiden, Park frames this descent as both savage satire and moral horror. The result is a bleakly ironic thriller where corporate precarity becomes a killing field, and self-justification the film’s most chilling weapon.
