FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/no-other-choice-review/
"No Other Choice proves to be a fantastic piece of art with superb tonal control and dedicated performances that solidify Park Chan-wook's return to the style that defines him.
It's a painfully entertaining analysis of a man driven to madness by corporate greed and social pressure, and a courageous, violent, hysterical look at how dysfunctional our world has become.
In the end, the film isn't just about a man who lost his job but a voracious critique of the madness of a system that teaches us to kill the rivalry, literally or figuratively, and the human cost of that survival game."
Rating: A-
