No Other Choice
No Other Choice is a brilliant satire on the modern workforce and its devaluing of its workers. The film centers on Yoo Man-Su (Lee Byung-Hun in a brilliant madcap performance) a hard luck paper factory manager who upon losing his job and struggling to find another, discovers he might have a shot at a hip new paper company but upon discovering three men who are ahead of him for potential employment and struggling to keep his home and provide for his family Yoo resorts to desperate deadly measures. No Other Choice is an ingenious indictment of the deeply broken modern workforce and its treatment of its workers as expendable and how in turn it drives them to believe their fellow human beings are expendable too. The great Park Chan-Wook is a master at hooking us into a unique story and then keeping us on our toes as he plays us like a fiddle with every twist and turn. The film sometimes almost plays like if Tarantino directed a classic Buster Keaton slapstick film, it’s hilarious but also never lets us forget the real human lives here. No Other Choice sticks its knife into the corporate machine with a devilish smirk, i loved it.
I Give It 5 Stars!!!
