After losing his job in the paper industry, Man-soo (Lee Byung-hun) struggles to support his family, facing rejection after rejection. As unemployment stretches on, desperation curdles into ruthless ambition, driving him toward increasingly absurd and violent acts to eliminate his competition at any cost.
Park Chan-wook (Old Boy, The Handmeiden) transforms Donald E. Westlake’s novel The Ax into a biting, pitch-black fable of modern work culture. With his trademark mix of extravagance and irony, this thriller skewers our era’s hunger for security and success.
