From director Park Chan-wook and based on Donald E. Westlake's novel THE AX, the story follows Man-su on his desperate hunt for a new job after his abrupt layoff from the paper company he served for 25 years.

"This is Park operating at the height of his powers, delivering a thriller that’s as unpredictable as it is darkly funny, as emotionally bruising as it is formally immaculate." - Nicolás Delgadillo, Knotfest

"Handily, one of the best films of the year." - Sarah Gorr. The Spool.

"A zany, all-out crowd-pleaser from Mr. Park, who exhibits a rare genius with the camera throughout, devising breathtaking shots, zooms and transitions, his cockeyed visual wizardry perfectly matched to the outlandishness of the plot." - Zachary Barnes, Wall Street Journal
