No Other Choice director Park Chan-wook and star Lee Byung-hun discuss reuniting after 20 years for their new black comedy thriller about a murderous job-hunter: "As the actor playing Man-su, I was always on his side cheering him on"

Lee Byung-hun as Man-su in No Other Choice.

Yoo Man-su has it all. A loving family, two adorable dogs, ownership of his beautiful home, and a career of 25 years that he takes great pride in.

But, in Oldboy director Park Chan-wook's latest black comedy thriller No Other Choice, it only takes a few seconds to rip it all away. Man-su's beloved career evaporates when the new American owners of his paper factory lay him off. After an attempt to break back into the industry falls excruciatingly flat when a nervy Man-su bombs an interview, he decides his only path forward is to stage a fake job opening for a paper company, then kill off the competition one by one. Easy, right?
