This deliriously entertaining, Golden Globe-nominated satire from South Korean master Park Chan-wook (Decision to Leave, The Handmaiden, Oldboy) follows an unemployed man who, desperate to land a coveted new job, develops a ruthless plan to dispatch his competition.

Man-soo (Squid Game’s Lee Byung Hun) has it all: a loving wife and kids, the beautiful house where he grew up, two exceptional dogs, then after 25 years at Solar Paper, he’s suddenly given the axe.

Desperate to save the family home and retain the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed, when Man-soo learns of a new position going elsewhere, he hatches a diabolical plan to deal with his rivals. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.

“Might well be Chan-wook’s masterpiece” Time Out
