The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

No Other Choice

After working at a paper company for 25 years, Man-su is abruptly made redundant.

In a downward spiral at the prospect of no longer being able to provide a comfortable life for his family, Man-su takes drastic action in his efforts to secure a new job: eliminating the competition (his fellow unemployed former colleagues).

Adapted from the 1997 novel The Ax by Donald E. Westlake, acclaimed director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Thirst, Decision To Leave) returns with a masterful social commentary on the cut-throat job market.
