In 'No Other Choice,' the rat race takes a dark turn
Los Angeles Times
|November 20, 2025
Director Park Chan-wook and star Lee Byung-hun show how cutthroat the capitalist system can be with a satirical story of a man at his wit's end
LEE BYUNG-HUN LOOKS every inch one of Korea's biggest stars, debonair in his natty, slim-fitting suit, relaxing in this glass-walled room by the pool of a West Hollywood hotel.
The happy tourists don't notice Park Chan-wook, the cinematic master behind such tours de force as "Oldboy" and "Decision to Leave," projecting thoughtful politesse beside him. These two giants of Korean film hadn't collaborated since 2004. It took a satirical American novel chronicling capitalism's crushing effects on a schlubby, middle-age dad to reunite them for Oscar submission "No Other Choice."
