Professional setbacks can be opportunities in disguise: a chance to look inward, take stock and grow as a person. Or, if you’re the protagonist of Park Chan-wook’s bleakly comedic thriller, you can bypass all that and just kill your rivals. In today’s brutal job market, murder might be a smarter career move than networking.
“No Other Choice,” which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and won the International People’s Choice Award at Toronto, starts off all too familiarly. Man-su (Lee Byung Hun) has been a model executive at Solar Paper for 25 years — he was once named “Pulp Man of the Year” — and has secured a comfortable middle-class life with his beautiful wife Miri (Son Yejin) and their two children. Barbecuing one day with the family, he takes in their gorgeous house, the one he grew up in that he managed to buy as an adult, and allows himself a moment to savor his good fortune.
