Based on Donald E. Westlake’s 1997 novel “The Ax” — adapted into a 2005 French film of the same name — “No Other Choice” exhibits Park’s signature precision, labyrinthine storylines and striking visual style. The film’s first scene is perhaps the only time audiences see the leading characters happy. Feasting on grilled eels in their sprawling garden, this nuclear family is the perfect paragon of the South Korean middle-class. In his portrayal of the down-on-his-luck Man-su, Lee (best known for his performance in “Squid Games”) takes on a more comedic role than his usual repertoire. “No Other Choice” toes a thin line between cleverly caustic satire and heavy-handed slapstick.
