This satirical black comedy comes from acclaimed filmmaker Park Chan-wook (THE HANDMAIDEN, DECISION TO LEAVE). Based on Donald E. Westlake's novel THE AX, the story follows Man-su (Lee Byung-hun) on his desperate hunt for a new job after his abrupt layoff from the paper company he served for 25 years. He decides to kill off his competition to be assured of the job he seeks to maintain his way of life.
